Neo- modernist in approach but minimalistic in design, this three-story, 45,000-square-foot glass boutique hotel features 44 designer guestrooms, the 10,000-square-foot restaurant Jordan: Surf-Sky-Spirit, indoor/outdoor bar, and private meeting and dining space. Mixing California casual with West Coast hip, the Jordan features steak- and-seafood fare, sushi bar, fireside patio, a 75-foot "wave wall," and verandah overlooking the boardwalk. Guests can enjoy wireless Internet access, even on the beach, dual-line cordless phones, business center, and meeting and banquet facilities.

The guestrooms and suites feature fresh design schemes, private balconies or terrace patios and teak furnishings. The Ocean View or Terrace Cabana guestrooms come complete with TOWER23's signature Serenity beds, "chroma+aroma therapy" baths, rain showers, plush bathrobes, executive work desks, coffeemakers, customized bars and nutrition centers, and plenty of electronic diversions: wireless Internet access, DVD players and 32-inch LCD high- definition televisions.

The TOWER23 joins nearly a half-dozen major resorts that have opened on the Southern California coastline in five years. At this specific spot on the beach, the TOWER23 is a great getaway for romantic couples and unique destination for sun-and-sand worshipers who want more than a typical beach hotel.

Note:
This hotel is scheduled to open at the beginning of July, 2005.
