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.

The valet was awesome welcoming us and getting us a cart for our luggage. Staff were so professional and even brought us a yummy welcome cocktail, totally needed! The surf pad has sweet oceanfront views with a shower/bath combo which was so fun. All modern and chic vibes. Incredible energy in the restaurant Jrdn, delicious food and drinks as well. Loved that everything flowed once we arrived at Tower23, from the included beach chairs/towels and bikes to the top-notch service, I will definitely be back and am grateful for such a high quality, immaculately maintained establishment. Miss you Tower23 until next year!

This hotel is in the perfect location and has a very laid-back vibe. We had a great stay that involved several walks along the beach, delicious meals at the restaurant JRDN, and peace and quiet in the evenings. We'll definitely try to go back.

This hotel is perfect! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The location, cleanliness, etc. are all amazing. Sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee in the am and wine in the pm was perfect. We took advantage of the bikes, beach towels and blankets. Valet was perfect as well! We will be back!

Excellent services, the whole family loved it the rooms were so specious, most definitely recommend it to friends and family. The staff were amazing. Room service was 10 out of 10 , one thing the family loved was that you have the beach so close walking distance. Beautiful hotel.

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.
