The Keating is a five-story Romanesque Revival–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 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 and in 2007 it was re-opened as the Keating Hotel.[4]
In 2012, the hotel was featured on the FOX reality series Hotel Hell starring Gordon Ramsay.[5]
In 2020, the hotel's temporary closure was announced on its official facebook account due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
As of 2026, the hotel is open and listed on Airbnb as hosted by "At Mine Hospitality".[7]
