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.

"Tower 23 has been a second home for me and my family. Beautiful hotel, everyone is so friendly and helpful. The restaurant JRDN is top notch. This past week we got to stay 4 days and I have to give a shout out to Austin! That guy was so sweet and attentive, not only with our car, but when my little girls wanted anything for the beach he showed them all the cool stuff the hotel has to offer and even let them choose which kind of boogie board and sand toys to take down to the beach! He made it a fun experience for them and I love that."

"Valet service, especially Austin was excellent. So was front desk."

"Oh my goodness! Everything was wonderful! The location is perfect; the rooms are wonderful; and the staff is amazing! We could not have asked for better! Again, the entire staff is so kind and accommodating, but the valet, Austin, just went above and beyond the entire trip. He always greeted us with a smile, no matter how many times we made him run for our car; he gave us advice on what to do and where to go; and he just made us feel welcome."

"Fantastic hotel service from start to finish! The front desk staff was incredibly helpful, and I want to give special thanks to Austin for his outstanding valet service. He was always cheerful and eager to help. During our 4-day stay, he brought and parked our car multiple times, yet always made it feel like no trouble at all. Every time we returned, Austin would ask about our day and genuinely seemed interested in making our stay even better. He also gave excellent recommendations whenever we asked about things to do. Austin truly made our experience special—he is the best!"

"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."
