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
Beach Pad
This is our regular PB vacation pad.V ery nice hotel with well trained staffing - valet parking - very clean. Tends to be geared more towards adults as there is no pool.On the upper end for costs but worth it!

Absolutely Awesome Experience
From the time I pulled up to valet to checkout the service was awesome. Everyone was professional, attentive and so kind. The area around the hotel has so many food options and we felt safe walking on the beach at night and walking on the Main road. Nat, Luica, Katrina, Austin, and Alicia were all absolutely awesome. The sushi in the restaurant was so delicious. The beds felt like I was sleeping on clouds. Having valet was so awesome and helpful. They get a 10/10 from me. We had a challenge with our room and they took care of it immediately. The views alone are worth the stay. If you’re considering staying do it. Have one experience and then you can decide for yourself. I stayed because my friend from San Diego said you have to stay there at least one time and now I’m hooked. Enjoy your stay.

Our favorite hotel in America
We have stayed at this hotel almost since it opened and I have never seen the transformation of a property like they have done recently. The staff is four seasons quality, extremely attentive, totally focused on the customer the cleanest, hotel and rooms we have stayed at in any property and the perfect location on the best beach in America!

Much Needed Vacation!
My husband and I stayed at Tower23 for five nights in late June and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I booked this stay as incentive to get me through a difficult year of teaching and our stay did not disappoint. We were amazed by the view from our room (even better than the pictures I looked at frequently before our trip)! We thoroughly enjoyed the quality restaurant and had three breakfasts and one dinner there. We totally appreciated the friendly service throughout the hotel which included a complimentary bottle of prosecco upon our arrival! We highly recommend this hotel.

Great experience on the beach
Great hotel and location right on the beach. Great service and it’s nice that they have valet with EV charging, a great restaurant to watch the World Cup and loan out beach chairs and boogie boards.

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!
