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
Amazing stay
Amazing hotel. Beautiful location. Clean, courteous and prompt staff. Had everything needed for relaxing beach days. Close to everything.

AMAZING Vacation!
Perfect stay. We could not be more pleased with our vacation. The hotel was perfect as always. Each year we choose to stay at Tower23 for our family vacation and are never disappointed. The hotel has the best location, amazing restaurant, best amenities, and wonderful staff. From the moment we arrived the valet staff was friendly and welcoming, checking in was quick and easy, any requests we had were addressed, the staff could not be more professional and polite. We were even impressed with the pleasant interaction and attentiveness the staff had with our two kids. I felt the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect and it meant so much to us, especially our son who celebrated his 9th birthday this trip out (according to him his "best birthday ever"). We appreciate everything, feel so fortunate to have been able to stay with them, and can't wait for our next summer vacation!

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.

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!
