    What's special

    ***VA APPROVED*** Welcome to The Willmore at 315 W. 3rd Street, where the elegance, optimism and architectural romance of the Hollywood Twenties still live in the heart of vibrant Downtown Long Beach. The Willmore is more than a residenceit is a piece of Long Beach history. Conceived during the city's remarkable growth in the 1920s, the building was originally known as The Stillwell and was designed as an upscale apartment hotel. Its architects, Fisher, Lake & Traver, were also responsible for the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival tradition with Beaux-Arts influences, the Willmore represented one of the high points of luxury high-rise apartment design in 1920s Long Beach. It was ultimately recognized for that architectural significance when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The main lobby is a throwback to the 1920s, when Long Beach was emerging as one of Southern California's glamorous seaside destinations and buildings like the Willmore represented a new era of sophisticated urban living. Enter beneath its graceful arches and step into a grand vintage lobby where soaring ceilings, period detailing and old-world craftsmanship immediately transport you to another era. And the experience continues above the city. Head to the 11th-floor Solarium, framed by distinctive arched windows and offering panoramic views across Downtown Long Beach and beyond. Step outside to the spectacular rooftop terrace, an exceptional setting to relax above the city, enjoy the coastal air, entertain friends, or simply watch the skyline transform as evening settles over Long Beach. Outside the Willmore's historic walls is the energy of Downtown Long Beach. Fine dining, nightlife, cafs and cultural attractions are close at hand, along with the Aquarium of the Pacific, Shoreline Village, the waterfront and Terrace Theater, home to performances by the Long Beach Symphony. It is an opportunity to enjoy the character of a landmark building while remaining connected to one of Southern California's most dynamic coastal downtowns. Adding to the convenience, HOA dues include water, gas and electricity, an increasingly valuable benefit. Secured parking is available nearby at 364 W. Roble Way, at 3rd Street and Chestnut Avenue on the same block as the Willmore. Classic architecture , Coastal city living & a Nearly century of Long Beach history at your residence. At the Willmore, you aren't simply living in Downtown Long Beach, you are becoming part of one of its most distinctive architectural stories
