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.

5 ⭐️ Spent our anniversary at tower23. Great views & SUPER clean. AUSTIN went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met & took the time to call our room to follow up with recommendations…. Great customer service will bring us back again in the future!

Great location, very nice room, quietest air conditioning in the hotel. I’ve heard for quite a while. Staff was wonderful, especially the valets, and the restaurant was incredible

The staff is very friendly. We felt welcomed and appreciated. Loved the welcome drink. The room was clean and comfortable and had a fantastic view of the ocean. This was our first time staying here, we usually stay in another hotel close by. This place was better priced, quieter and a little smaller (which was better). We loved it and really liked having the restaurant and other places close by.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness and care. I was thoroughly impressed by the staff. We were fortunate that our room was ready early and they also gifted a stuffed animal to my little. The room was fabulous, too. The highlight for me was the huge bathtubs with jets, which mom and little both enjoyed. Location was awesome, close to both beach and great food & coffee. Would highly recommend.

Amazing location, reasonably-priced, and very kind staff. I chose this hotel for the weekend of our engagement, and the staff at Tower23 was so helpful in making it the perfect weekend for us by going above and beyond! I would definitely recommend this hotel, and we will certainly be back.

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.
