About

Perched on the bluff above the Pacific Ocean at 723 Felspar St in Pacific Beach (92109), TOWER23 Hotel is a 44-room boutique property named after the real lifeguard tower that stands on the beach below. The hotel's angular, minimalist architecture sets it apart from the laid-back storefronts surrounding it, and every room features a private balcony or patio, Tempur-Pedic Serenity beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, and views that range from partial ocean glimpses to full panoramas of Crystal Pier. The second-floor Tower Deck is the social hub of the property, offering fire pits, sunbathing areas, a narrow wade pool, and sweeping sunset views that draw hotel guests and restaurant-goers alike. JRDN, the on-site restaurant, has collected multiple California Restaurant Association awards for Best Hotel Dining in the San Diego chapter and serves a menu blending California coastal cuisine with Japanese and Baja influences, including a dedicated sushi bar, hand-cut steaks, and fresh seafood. A 70-foot "wave wall" at the back of the dining room reflects the sunset each evening through color-changing lighting, and the happy hour draws crowds for its oyster specials. Guests looking for more oceanfront dining can also explore JRDN Restaurant as a standalone destination without booking a room. The hotel offers 38 guest rooms across four styles — Sky Pads, Spirit Pads, Serenity Pads, and Surf Pads — plus six suites, including the Sweet Suites with full ocean views. In-room spa services, complimentary Wi-Fi, bike rentals, and beach gear including chairs and umbrellas are available through the resort fee. The property accommodates dogs up to 75 pounds and provides valet parking. Wedding and private event packages include a full hotel buyout option. The boardwalk in front of TOWER23 connects directly to Crystal Pier and runs south to Belmont Park, and the surrounding blocks of Felspar Street offer easy access to PB's broader dining scene, including Oceana Coastal Kitchen nearby.
