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.

Since my daughter lives in San Diego, I always stay at tower23. We love their atmosphere and vibe. And hotel men's hospitality is always awesome. We live in Hawaii but we love ocean by PB.

Tower23 enhanced our Anniversay celebration with its beautiful modern boutique atmosphere and welcoming service. To our surprise we were welcomed with a view room upgrade and a bottle of Prosecco. We have stayed before and did not expect this, but it’s those simple touches T23 creates that keep us coming back. If you are seeking a romantic getaway and unbelievable sunsets in Pacific Beach, the Tower23 supports romance!

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!
