What happened after Hotel Hell?

The Keating Hotel in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter was the property featured in Hotel Hell's fourth episode, which aired 2012-08-27. According to Wikipedia, the five-story building was constructed in 1890 as an office building, designed by George J. Keating and completed by the Reid Brothers after Keating's death; the San Diego Savings Bank occupied its corner storefront from 1893 to about 1912, and Wikipedia notes the bank's old safe remained in the building as of 1980. In the 2000s, Pininfarina redesigned the building's interior, and it reopened in 2007 as the Keating Hotel, a 35-room boutique property near the San Diego Convention Center, Petco Park, and the Balboa Theatre, according to Wikipedia. The hotel's own website, thekeatinghotelsandiego.com, was live and current when checked 2026-09-09, returning HTTP 200 with a 2026 copyright notice and a live booking calendar defaulting to that day's date. The site's homepage offered direct booking for rooms, listed hotel policies and amenities, and included a photo gallery, all branded 'The Keating Hotel By Pininfarina.' Wikipedia's separate article on the Keating Building, revised 2026-09-06, confirms the hotel operated under the Pininfarina-designed identity established in 2007 and notes its 2012 appearance on the Fox series Hotel Hell starring Gordon Ramsay.
