Tower23 Hotel

Tower23 Hotel gets its name from the nearby lifeguard tower, which is sleek and futuristic with a distinct minimalist architectural style. Tower23 Hotel takes its role as a sleeping establishment seriously as well. White goose-down duvets nearly guarantee that you'll have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. The rooms are simple and decorated in rich blues and aqua, while suites have living spaces.

Regardless of whether you begin or end your day with a sea-inspired spa treatment, the courteous resort staff understands that their mission is to get you to the beach. The proximity to those Pacific Beach sands and the roaring surf is a big part of the hotel's attraction, which is why the rooms face west and bikes and beach gear are provided. Even the prestigious JRDN has a 70-foot-long "wave wall" that every night mirrors the beautiful sunset.
