The Keating Hotel by Pininfarina
The new ultra-chic Keating Hotel, which sports a Ferrari-red interior, looks like it’s going 225 mph standing still.
No wonder. It’s the first lodging property that Italian automobile designer Pininfarina, famous for the Ferrari and other fast cars, including Maserati, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and Fiat Spider, has ever put its stamp on.
But it won’t be the last. Edward Kaen, whose family owns the historic downtown building that houses the 35-room boutique hotel and lounge, and Paolo Pininfarina, vice chairman of Turin, Italy-based Pininfarina, are taking their act on the road.
Designed with a cultivated eye for detail, the Keating is Pininfarina’s first hotel creation, a chic hotel with European sex appeal and SOHO style placed perfectly in Southern California.
The 35-room, 4-floor hotel can guest up to 72 people and boasts 8 suites and an environment characterized, such as in the Pininfarina tradition, by pure, clean, ergonomic design, where breathtaking form meets function in every possible detail.

An interesting view of the automotive industry. Where do you see the future of the industry, will it ever recover or will there be major casulties?

I must say, I could not agree with you in 100%, but it�s just my opinion, which indeed could be wrong.
p.s. You have a very good template . Where did you find it?

There is more art and architecture witness in Italy than one person could conceivably experience in a lifetime.

Rural Italy is turning more and more popular with tourists. Tuscany is particularly beautiful with hilly and mountainous territory in much of the region. There are eye-catching valleys too and attractive Tuscan farm houses.
