PB hotel design editorial

Perched directly above the sand in San Diego's Pacific Beach neighborhood, where the boardwalk meets one of Southern California's most reliably surfed stretches of coastline, Tower23 Hotel presents a white stucco-and-glass volume that owes more to Miami's South Beach modernism than to the shingle-and-shutter vernacular that dominates much of California's beachfront hospitality. The three-story structure, completed in 2005, pushes its glazed facade as close to the bluff edge as local codes permit, stacking private balconies in a rhythm of aluminum-framed sliding doors that frame uninterrupted Pacific views from nearly every angle. The interiors take a restrained mid-century approach — flat-profile walnut bed frames, walnut millwork running the full width of the guestroom walls, and sage-green loop-pile carpet that anchors the palette without competing with the natural light flooding in from each balcony. Furnishings are deliberately unfussy: low-slung platform beds in white linens, integrated desk-and-dresser units in warm-toned timber veneer, and charcoal upholstered seating that keeps the eye moving toward the glass. The courtyard terrace, set one level above the boardwalk, organizes a lap pool and succulent plantings around large-format concrete pavers, with teak benches and turquoise lounge furniture providing the only real color. The rooftop bar, JRDN, carries the same material language upward — a wood-paneled ceiling, white quartz bar counter edged in seafoam lacquer, and wraparound windows opening the entire space toward the water.

"If you want to be pampered, this is the place for you. I will be forever grateful for having stayed at Tower23. The staff went above and beyond to help me. The email on my phone is slow, and I needed a fast computer to help me sign up for a trip to Paris. The travel company was sending out a link. Only the first 30 people to sign up could go, but 400 were interested. When the desktop computer on my floor was not working, Aidan (I hope I remembered his name correctly) let me use his personal laptop. And I made it onto the trip! I'll always remember how helpful the staff here was. Besides the extraordinary experience I had here, you have to try the JRDN restaurant here. Excellent food and cocktails. And the $1 oysters during Happy Hour are the best deal you'll find anywhere."

"My family and I came to San Diego for a weekend and we decided to book to Tower 23. Let me tell you, it was an amazing experience! The hotel was right on the beach! Easy access to the beach, literally right out the window. The restaurant JRDN was very tasty. 5/5 stars. The room was very clean, customer service made you feel welcomed every time. If I needed an extra towel or anything, they’d respond and be there in a few minutes. Overall I’m extremely pleased with the service, cleanliness and easy access to beach activities. They also had bike rentals as well. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to San Diego to book at this hotel!!!"

"The best place to stay and dine in Pacific Beach. Tower23 is right on the beach, modern, clean, and the staff could not do enough for you. JRDN, the restaurant, is equal to any New York City dining experience. The sun deck with the fire pit made our evenings magical. We will be coming back again and again. Thank you Tower23 and JRDN."
