Pacific Beach, a coastal San Diego neighborhood, is an unlikely place for a hideaway crafted from translucent glass with lines that are contemporary and clean. But that is what you will find at Tower23 Hotel, a chic retreat surrounded by serious surfers and sun-worshippers. Sporting a cool and unconventional façade, its name is derived from lifeguard tower 23, which is positioned near the hotel and serves as a beacon for beach goers. Select from an assortment of room and suite types - Spirit Pad, Sky Pad, Surf Pad, Sanctuary Suite and Sweet Suite - that bask in modernistic features with sleek furnishings and minimalist appointments, coupled with private balconies or patios. The amenities are also a bit out-of-the-box, with chromatherapy baths, step-in rain showers, mini-bars personalized to your liking, and Xbox entertainment centers.

Tower 23 is such a sweet gem! The views of the ocean and sunsets, the amazing staff, and exceptional food and service @ JRDN are just a few of the reasons we LOVE TOWER 23! Thank you, Brenda for taking care of our family prior to arrival and appreciate Ed’s help with our super late check in!! We love @Tower 23 and can’t wait for our next visit!

Booked the couples’ package to surprise my partner for our anniversary and we will DEFINITELY be back! The staff was nothing but kind and did everything in their power to ensure we had a phenomenal stay. We got the Sweet Suite, with full view of the ocean and it was worth every single penny. The jacuzzi tub alone was well worth the price after a very long walk at the wild animal park. My one critique is that the restaurant could have been better for the price, but with so many other good eats nearby it was practically a nonissue. Thank you Tower 23 for a very romantic weekend!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Tower23 Hotel! From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch, and the modern, stylish decor made me feel right at home. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and offered breathtaking ocean views. The hotel’s location is perfect, right on the beach, and there are plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. I particularly enjoyed the downstairs JRDN restaurant , which offered a stunning view of the sunset. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Tower23 for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway!

Absolutely loved our stay at Tower 23! I was celebrating my birthday & they welcomed us with a chilled bottle of bubbly which was a delightful surprise. We booked a Surf Pad room & the ocean view was stunning. Staff were always so friendly & the location right on the edge of the ocean at Pacific Beach is SoCal perfection. We ate at JRDN numerous times & loved the food & staff here as well. Especially recommend the sushi, fish tacos, pulled pork sliders, truffle fries & for breakfast the avocado toast. We look forward to returning in April!

Excellent hotel and service... will not consider another hotel in San Diego. Staff is professional and top shelf.

Outstanding location facing the ocean in an old beach suburb of San Diego. Beautiful setting and clean contemporary design to establish a new standard for the city. Impeccable rooms atop a fine restaurant and service is hip, attentive and aware. I lose myself every time I stay. A highlight of my travels.
