The hotel market in San Diego, California is getting hot. The Keating, a new hotel set to open in the fall, brings Italian chic to this Southern California town. With all that red in the virtual mock-up there can only be one Italian source, Pininfarina,the ultra-chic designers who created some of our favorite Ferraris and Maseratis. The 35-room Keating is their first hotel design. The Keating is one of San Diego's oldest buildings and has a Romanesque Revival façade but a modern sleek interior. This is also another one of those hotels that is eliding the the bedroom/bathroom concept into one combined area. Amenities will include personalized in-room check-in, goose down feather bed and goose down duvet, Egyptian cotton linens,plasma televisions, in-room LavAzza espresso machines and plush bathrobes. Phase two of the project will include a signature restaurant adjacent to the main hotel, a rooftop glass bottom pool and eight additional premium suites.
