You deserve to have it all: you're smart, socially aware, and have a five-star taste level - why should you compromise on any of these points?

Your silk dress by Edun is a stylish way to support organic materials and sustainable economies, your frequent visits to The Linkery allow you to indulge in artisan food as well as to support locally-sourced produce, and now your desire to dream in chic yet sustainable surroundings can be fulfilled at the Keating Hotel.

The Pininfarina designed Keating Hotel was a welcome addition to the San Diego hospitality market when it opened in 2007. The Italian design house brought its signature sleek appeal adorned in red to the Gaslamp district, creating another refuge of boutique style among the chain Rock Bottoms and TGIFs. But did you know that the hotel is award winning not only because of its design sense, but because of its eco-friendliness?

For employing a multitude of environmentally friendly practices such as the use of re-usable and recyclable natural materials in all of the hotel's major furnishings, the installation of energy-saving motion sensing devices, and by maintaining an on-premise laundry service that uses bio-friendly detergents, the Keating was named the project winner of the inaugural Earth-Minded Award presented by Hospitality Design magazine and the American Society of Interior Designers.

So go ahead, indulge in an expensive bottle of Italian red from The Vault at Minus One Lounge - you're saving the world one sip at a time. Admire the Pininfarina custom designed furnishings as you snuggle into the feather bed and between the Italian linens. The eco-conscious San Diego Keating Hotel defines style supported by substance, and you've never slept so soundly.
