The Keating Hotel
$$$$, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
The Keating's 116-year-old historical exterior looks nothing like its new sexy interior, remade into a hotel in 2006. Guests are greeted with a sports car -red lobby that leads to 35 rooms designed by Pininfarina, the Italian company that makes Ferraris and Maseratis. The contemporary set will appreciate the room's minimalist open floor plan that showcases stainless bath fixtures, a blue resin walk-through shower, and a personalized "sip and crave" beverage and snack bar. Upon check-in, you're given a 15-minute lesson on how to use all the room's gadgets, which include a Bang and Olufsen sound system, plasma TV, and personal espresso maker. For dining and cocktails, head downstairs to the Lounge. Here, hosts shake martinis tableside and down-tempo tunes play backdrop for conversation. A historic redbrick bank vault, part of the San Diego Trust & Savings Bank that once occupied the building, now holds a selection of wines from Italy.
