About Our Historic Hotel
Conveniently Located in
Downtown Aberdeen, SD
The Ward Plaza, now a designated Historic Landmark, was originally built by Alonzo Ward in 1894. Following a devastating fire, Mr. Ward decided to rebuild. In 1928, he opened the new Ward Hotel as South Dakota’s premier luxury regional hotel featuring 90 hotel rooms, a grand ballroom, restaurant, coffee shop, and commercial spaces.
The Alonzo Ward Hotel & Plaza launched a complete remodel in the summer of 2022. The new design brought the Ward back to its roots with the completion of our boutique hotel featuring 18 beautiful guest rooms and suites with all new modern finishes.
Our historic hotel gives guests access to many places to eat, drink and spend time in Aberdeen, South Dakota without having to jump in a car. Downtown Aberdeen is very walkable, and we invite you to explore what our community has to offer.
