Keating Architectural style Romanesque Revival Part of Gaslamp Quarter Historic District (ID80000841[1]) Designated CP May 23, 1980 The **Keating Building**,[2] also known as **the Keating Hotel**, is a 35-room luxury boutique hotel in [San Diego](/source/San_Diego), California. Located in the center of the [Gaslamp Quarter](/source/Gaslamp_Quarter), the Keating is located near the [San Diego Convention Center](/source/San_Diego_Convention_Center), [Petco Park](/source/Petco_Park), and [Balboa Theatre](/source/Balboa_Theatre_(San_Diego)). The Keating is a five-story [Romanesque Revival](/source/Romanesque_Revival_architecture)–style building, built as an office building with then modern conveniences of steam heat and a wire cage elevator, in 1890. It was designed by [George J. Keating](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_J._Keating&action=edit&redlink=1) and was completed by the Reid Brothers after Keating's death. The San Diego Savings Bank occupied the corner space in the building from 1893 to about 1912, and its old safe was still in the building in 1980.[3] In the 2000s its interior was redesigned by [Pininfarina](/source/Pininfarina) and in 2007 it was re-opened as the Keating Hotel.[4] In 2012, the hotel was featured on the [FOX](/source/Fox_Broadcasting_Company) reality series *[Hotel Hell](/source/Hotel_Hell)* starring [Gordon Ramsay](/source/Gordon_Ramsay).[5] In 2020, the hotel's temporary closure was announced on its official [facebook](/source/Facebook) account due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic).[6] As of 2026, the hotel is open and listed on [Airbnb](/source/Airbnb) as hosted by "At Mine Hospitality".[7] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-nris_1-0)** ["National Register Information System"](https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP). *[National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places)*.
