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
Exceptional stay. Front desk & concierge deserve 10 stars!
From the moment we pulled up to Hotel 23 straight from the airport, the team made us feel warmly welcomed. The check-in process was fast and completely seamless. Since we arrived early, they held our luggage and gave us access key to the rooftop lounge, along with complimentary beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella to use while we headed out. When we finally returned to our room later, our luggage was already waiting inside for us. The next day was my birthday, and housekeeping surprised us with a beautiful birthday display and a bottle of champagne in the room. We don’t drink alcohol, so when I called the front desk to return the bottle, they thoughtfully offered to send up fresh mocktail mojitos instead, and they really hit the spot! To top it all off, our room was just steps from the beach and truly fed my soul. This was easily one of the best hospitality experiences we've ever had, and we cannot wait to come back!

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!
