A Historical Destination in San Diego:
1037 Fourth Street carries more than a century of stories—first rising in 1906 as the six-story Waldorf Hotel, later expanding and merging with its 1928 neighbor to become the iconic New Plaza Hotel San Diego. Today, it is reimagined as Found Hotel San Diego Downtown—a boutique destination by Marriott International that blends timeless character with modern edge, reviving historic details like the 1928 rooftop sign and 1940s storefront.
Back in its heyday, the Waldorf Grill was the place to be—where “jazzy dancing” and “delightful refreshments” set the tone for unforgettable nights. Its signature creation, the Waldorf Fizz—an elegant mix of rye whiskey, vermouth, and absinthe—captured the spirit of an era defined by style, energy, and a touch of indulgence.
Our Neighborhood
Centrally located in the heart of San Diego’s vibrant downtown, our neighborhood places you steps from the energy of the Gaslamp Quarter, the waterfront of San Diego Bay, and local favorites like Little Italy, Petco Park, and the city’s renowned dining and nightlife scene for a perfectly balanced stay.
