Downtown San Diego is located just steps from the coast.
San Diego is home to 10 separate beach areas, spanning a total of more than 70 miles. In addition to being popular for surfing, San Diego offers venues for sailing and jet skiing, including Mission Bay. While many inland hotels are just minutes to the water, visitors who want to stay right on the sand can choose from several properties a stone's throw from the coast. Waterfront hotels in San Diego are typically upscale and within walking distance to shopping and dining.
TOWER23 Hotel
TOWER23 Hotel, named after a nearby lifeguard tower, is located on Pacific Beach in San Diego. Pacific Beach stretches for around two miles, beginning just south of Crystal Pier and ending where Mission Beach starts. The area is known for dive bars and boutique shops; visitors will find many privately owned businesses in Pacific Beach.
The design throughout the TOWER23 Hotel is neo-modernist and inspired by minimalism; guests can expect furniture characterized by clean lines and guest rooms outfitted in the colors of the ocean. The second floor of the hotel is home to a terrace overlooking the water, where guests can enjoy a cocktail or lounge on one of the beds placed throughout the space.
