The Keating
432 F Street, San Diego, CA, USA
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Don't be fooled by the slightly old-money country-club name, or by the building itself, which at over a hundred and ten years old is surely one of San Diego's oldest — the Keating is as of-the-moment as it's possible to be, utterly emblematic of the current fascination with high-design boutique hotels.
Interiors, incredibly, are by Pininfarina, the Italian studio responsible for designing Ferraris and Maseratis. And if the connection between sports cars and hotels is difficult to see, one look inside clears it up — the Keating is aspirational hotel design at its peak, its plasma-screens bigger, its sleek modernist furniture flashier, its Bang & Olufsen sound systems more banging and its open-plan glass-walled bathrooms more nakedly on display than any of the competition. These are the Maseratis of luxe-boutique hotel rooms, with all the options: in-room Lavazza espresso machines, high-end Dornbracht bathroom fixtures, and loft-style exposed brick walls.
The Keating's location, at the edge of the fashionable Gaslamp quarter, is perfect for the nightlife-fixated bachelor or bachelorette — though there's always the option of the hotel’s own Brick and Mortar restaurant, which by night turns into one of the neighborhood’s more popular party spots.
The Keating has a 2-night minimum-stay policy on Fridays and Saturdays.

What I liked:
The bed was very comfortable.
What the hotel could do better:
It was a little run down. the rooms are smaller than you think and the shower is right in the corner of the sleeping room (only the toilet has a separate room with door).
