Edward Kaen, founder and CEO of The Keating Hotel Group, has announced that he is looking for hoteliers interested in franchising The Keating by Pininfarina brand for their own hotels.
“There are lots of people who own small hotels that are ready for refurbishing, but need a theme,†he said at the HD Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. “If these folks become part of The Keating Hotel Group, they can brand themselves with the Keating name and get instant recognition.â€
The first Keating Hotel opened in downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp District in April, 2007, and has quickly earned an international reputation for “high service and high design.â€
Key to The Keating’s reputation is the exclusive partnership with the Italian-based design house Pininfarina, which is best known for its work on Ferraris and Mazeratis. Read more.
