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
The best hotel staff and experience
This was my first time at Tower 23 and it was such a great experience. I’ve visited San Diego before but not quite like this. Location is amazing, hotel is clean and comfortable, restaurant is great, and hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Stephanie at the front desk has gone above and beyond to make sure our stay was memorable. I have fallen in love with San Diego after this trip. I highly recommend this hotel!

So good you’ll want to extend your trip
We stayed at tower23 for a quick overnight and had the best time! They have amazing happy hour where we enjoyed oysters and glasses of Veuve overlooking the ocean. Stephen the bartender was amazing! Then we went upstairs on the deck for sunset. Stephanie at the front desk set us up with a Skypad room with patio access. The beds were so comfy we stayed in and ordered room service while watching a movie. We had such great time, Steph was able to give us late checkout as we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the deck. Highly recommend and will be coming back!!

Tower 23 is the only place we stay when we visit Pacific Beach in San Diego. The restaurant, JRDN, is outstanding and has the best staff. The rooms are comfortable and well kept. Steph at the front desk is always so kind and accommodating. She always makes us feel appreciated and right at home. There isn’t a better place to spend Golden Hour than Tower23.

We love Tower 23!
The staff was amazing especially Martha and Aiden- they worked as a team and were so attentive and made us feel so comfortable. Martha was always smiling and so warm and helpful- we love her! Tyler was a great bellman and made checking in and out a breeze with all of our bags! Taylor was great too! We have come here for many 4th of July’s and will continue coming! It was the perfect weather and experience- we had the best time enjoying the roof top DJ, the view, games, food, drinks and the beds are very comfortable.

Birthday night
I spent one amazing night at Tower 23 Hotel for my birthday and was greeted my the most welcoming staff ever! My room was SUPER clean and exceeded my expectations, the service was 10/10. The valet Brandon, Austin, and Tony were very welcoming as soon as I pulled in they offered to help with our luggage despite how busy they were. At the front desk Nathaly, John and Taylor were amazing when checking me in. The next morning at check out Tyler helped us take all of our luggage down! We also dined at the restaurant where Elizabeth and Luis greeted me and my friend making us feel even more welcome.

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