About the Hotel

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.

Reviews for Tower23 Hotel

Cleanest Hotel and best Staff in San Diego

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

I have stayed at the Tower 23, for years now. I don’t even remember when I first started visiting the Hotel but it is my go to spot every vacation we spend in San Diego. There’s no place better to stay when it comes to the staff taking care of you, and the cleanliness of the hotel But I’m going to first start off by saying that it only gets better. Each time we are welcomed as if we are family. They remember your names and do the best to their ability to make your stay a memorable experience. I visited the hotel in January and I didn’t have my service dog with me because he was under the Weather. They remembered him and asked where was he the following month he passed away. On my next visit in July, he wasn’t with me and my husband let Luis know he had passed. This visit I received the warmest welcome a personalized card with signatures from all the staff that has taken care of us over the years chocolate covered strawberries, and a nice bottle of wine . On November 1, 2025 I received a photo that my Boy was being celebrated at the hotel for the day of the dead what an honor! The staff puts gives great thought and care in everything they do and I can’t express how much I immensely appreciate everything that they have done for my family and I over the years. There’s no better place to stay in San Diego, California. Thanks to my Tower 23 family!

The best

I cannot say enough great things about our entire experience. The view from the room was gorgeous. Every interaction with staff was exceptional. We attended an event at the restaurant and had the pleasure of working with Robbie, who was attentive, diligent, patient, and professional.

Great location Attractive building Pleasant staff Comfortable bed Poor maintenance Support for our electric and pluming issues For example water in shower and faucets would change from hot to cold during use. Bathroom lights would turn on and off at random reported but No follow up

Amazing location, great view and nice balcony to enjoy the views from. Nice minimalistic style and overall clean. However, the room had a rather ugly carpet (what is it with Americans and carpeting - don't you want to wash your floors??). Also, internet was really slow in our room and coffee machine did not work. Restaurant was good.

King Suite is Awesome

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Had the King Suite with the Ocean view - fantastic. Great hotel. Restaurant is delicious. Can't beat the location. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Staff were very helpful. Valet was fast. Just a great experience.

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


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.

Excellent customer service from start to finish... I will return soon!
