TOWER23

Named after Lifeguard Tower 23 that was once positioned on the beach in front of the hotel, San Diego’s TOWER23 is widely known as one of SoCal’s most stylish and contemporary stays. Fresh design schemes with a peaceful blue and white palette and high-end amenities fill the 44 spacious guest rooms, many of which offer ocean panoramas. The lifestyle hotel is mere steps from the beach (and near La Jolla, Downtown San Diego, the airport and popular area attractions, like Belmont Park and San Diego Zoo), so sand-seekers don’t have far to wander. Plus, foodies flock to JRDN Restaurant for fresh, contemporary steak and seafood dishes alongside a 1,000-bottle wine wall and incredible outdoor seating which proffers Pacific views and great people-watching. t23hotel.com.
