Description:
Named for a local lifeguard tower on Pacific Beach, it's the polar opposite of the Victorian-era Hotel Del a few miles down the coast. This sleek creation brings a whole new swagger to the beach scene. Keeping with "PB" tradition, bare feet and board shorts are welcome, and guests can even wash off their surfboards in the reflecting pool. But this is no ordinary surf shack. The 44 spacious guest rooms have flat-screen TVs and Xbox entertainment systems, and the Wi-Fi access extends all the way to the high-tide mark. Suites have whirlpool tubs with underwater lighting and automatic aromatherapy release. The beach-level Jordan, a breezy eatery with killer views, has a creative menu (tagliatelle with sea urchin) and a wine cellar stocked with up-and-coming labels from Washington State and Baja California.
