Property Description

At FOUND Hotels, Downtown San Diego, modern comfort meets vibrant city charm—just steps from the Gaslamp Quarter and minutes from the San Diego Zoo—making it your ideal home base for business, adventure, or a relaxing escape, all set against a backdrop of endless sunshine and effortless coastal vibes, where warm, golden days roll into cool, breezy nights. 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.
