See Moreĭeparting slightly from the luxury race car aesthetic of the common spaces, the Keating's 35 rooms and suites were designed with a palette inspired by San Diego. Upon arrival, guests can expect a welcome amenity such as a glass of champagne, covered by the resort fee.
Guests should have patience with the slow elevators, which - unlike the high horsepower engines with which the designer is associated - still operate by the hotel's original steam powered system. An atrium-style ceiling lends light to this area and the adjacent meeting rooms. On the top floor, up the staircase, there's a small sitting room that doubles as a business center, with a leather couch and mid-century style red chair. Vintage black and white photographs from the hotel's history adorn the walls of the small lobby, and a red carpeted staircase dramatically leads up to dark, black-painted hallways. But Pininfarina covered everything else in lipstick red and black leather - purposeful motifs that evoke the Italian company's most iconic cars. Originally built in 1890 as the San Diego Trust and Savings Bank, the building that now houses the Keating has retained its original brick-and-stone façade, along with exposed brick throughout the lobby and rooms.
