Cozy By Design: Pininfarina Pens First Hotel

Famed automotive Italian styling house Pininfarina has just thrown open the doors on San Diego’s Keating Hotel. The 117-year old, 35-room, four floor hotel is the recipient of a redesign crafted by none other than Paolo Pininfarina.

The Keating is the first hotel property entrusted to Pininfarina Extra, a division of the family business that designs everything from portable hard drives to lamp posts. Paolo Pininfarina has seemingly had his hands in everything, from the industrial, minimalist design aesthetic of the lobby and bar, to the range of furniture and accessories. Pininfarina designs mark out the rooms and hallways including four types of chairs, in-room coffee machines, Ferrari models in the hallways, and so on.

Located in the Gaslamp Quarter, the Keating can accommodate up to 72 people. We’re quite sure they’ll be happy to park your Pininfarina-penned Maserati Quattroporte or Ferrari Enzo out front, as well.
