ABOUT

THE VURPILLAT: (a.k.a. the Vurpillat Apartments). A fully equipped and furnished apartment hotel catering to short and long term stays for vacations, business, events, etc. 

Welcome to this 28-unit historic building in the most prestigious beachfront location in the Los Angeles southern California location.

It was built in 1923 by William Vurpillat. He was a well known businessman in Hermosa Beach. The name “Vurpillat” is from French origin and is pronounced “Ver-pill-ay”.  We invite you to “Enjoy your stay at the Vurpillat!”

RESTORED:  The building has been restored in a very careful manner that keeps the unique original look and feel and charm, really setting The Vurpillat apart from any other local hotels, businesses and buildings in the area. 

LOCATION:  The Vurpillat is in the best location in Hermosa Beach, right on the Strand (waterfront) for quick beach access. It is perfectly positioned in Hermosa Beach just three short blocks south of the famous Pier Plaza shops and restaurants, just far enough away to be tranquil and calm at home in a residential setting.  Being sandwiched between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, a short walk or bike ride north or south gets you to another pier and a whole other set of shops and restaurants.

VIEWS:  The Vurpillat is one of the tallest buildings on the strand, standing 4 stories at its peak, with the best views around. 

BEACH ACCESS:  The building offers true beachfront access, with teak bistro tables out front where you can enjoy a coffee, a cocktail, or bask in the sun while reading a book.  The options are endless! 

HISTORICAL CHARM:  Some of the most endearing aspects of this historical building are its charming features.  For example, the original deep bathtubs, trim work, slip shade light fixtures, picture crown molding, oak hardwood, and 1923 terrazzo in some hallways and bathrooms, 

AMENITIES: 24/7 front desk, daily housekeeping, private bathroom for each room, on-site front-load laundry, vending machine with drinks and snacks, pool table, sauna, and patio bistro tables. 

NON-SMOKING:  We are a non-smoking building.
