Pacific Beach, California Hotels

Pacific Beach, California Hotels
Sunshine and blue skies attract travelers of every stripe to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities on 70 miles of white sandy beaches in San Diego, California. Nestled in between upscale La Jolla and Mission Bay is the small community of Pacific Beach, known for its "bustling bars and naughty nightclubs," according to the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau. If you like the retro scene, or long for a flashback to the Sixties, stay at a hotel in this San Diego neighborhood close to Belmont Park.

Tower 23

Tower 23 takes pride in being "San Diego's only luxury, lifestyle hotel on the beach."

After a day of hiking, surfing or sailing, you will rest easy in a king- or queen-size Tempur-Pedic Serenity bed. Soothe your sore muscles with an in-room massage, or treat yourself to other in-room spa services available here.
