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
Welcome +
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!

Exceptional Service and Stunning Beach Views
Tower 23 is ideally situated in San Diego with beautiful beach views and a fantastic location. Before my stay, I specifically requested a room away from the restaurant because I had read that noise could be an issue, but I never experienced any noise from the restaurant during my visit. The room was well-appointed and included a fully stocked minibar, even offering thoughtful items such as sunscreen. However, some of the furniture was beginning to show signs of wear and tear. The walls are also somewhat thin, and I could occasionally hear doors slamming from neighboring rooms. What truly made this stay stand out was the exceptional staff. Everyone I encountered—from the front desk team to the restaurant staff and valet attendants—was hospitable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Their outstanding service made the experience memorable and is exactly what makes a hotel stay worthwhile. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would happily stay at Tower 23 again.

Highly recommend!
My wife and I chose Tower 23 for a quiet anniversary weekend and fell in love with this place. You should consider Tower 23 if you’re seeking a peaceful and relaxing experience. The 5 Star reviews are extremely accurate. The entire staff and service was first class….the location and our beach front room were outstanding! The JRDN restaurant was excellent…..highly recommend the lobster. It doesn’t get much better than sleeping to the sound of waves breaking on the beach! Thank you to everyone who helped make our weekend memorable.

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!
