Keating Hotel by Pininfarina Wins the Earth-Minded Awards
The Keating Hotel by Pininfarina, San Diego's premier boutique hotel, was named the project winner of the inaugural Earth-Minded Awards, presented by Hospitality Design magazine and American Society of Interior Designers.

The awards program recognizes exceptional sustainable design in two categories, hospitality projects and hospitality products.

Winners were honored last week in Las Vegas at Hospitality Design Green Day, a full day of conference programming dedicated to green design.

Submissions were judged by a group of esteemed hospitality designers.

"We are very proud of this award because it confirms that the Keating project outlines possible answers to the complex issue of sustainability - said Paolo Pininfarina, President and CEO Pininfarina Extra.

- When approaching a new project, from the microcosm of small objects for everyday use, through to the macrocosm of buildings, we always try to minimize environmental impact and relate people with the natural environment.

We did the same while designing the Keating."
