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.

Setting The Bar High
Hotels are a dime a dozen. What separates them is the service. Tower 23 set the bar high. From the parking attendant, hotel staff, front desk and housekeeping staff are so friendly and helpful. They made us feel like we were their only customer. Kudos to management for an A+ service. They made us feel at home. We will definitely come back not just for the amenities but for the friendly staff. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary a very memorable one.

Tower23 for the Win!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Tower23. The location in Pacific Beach is excellent, right on the ocean and within easy walking distance of restaurants and everything along the boardwalk. Our Surf King room was spacious, having a room with a balcony overlooking the beach was worth every penny, and the bed was super comfortable. The hotel has a modern, upscale feel without being overly formal. We did the daily hotel valet service which was extremely valuable for us as we did a lot of driving/sight-seeing. Being able to walk right out to the beach was a huge plus. The rooftop was nice, overlooking the beach and we used the lounge chairs on a few occasions instead of going down to the beach. There really isn't a pool, just a water feature that you could just dip your feet in. Overall, Tower23 was a great choice for our San Diego vacation, and we would definitely stay here again.

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!
