We first wrote about Hotel Surplus Outlet in March, 2010— and it’s remained one of our favorite “finds” ever since.
Now it’s time for an update because the company recently moved to a new location in Van Nuys — a renovated mid-modern aerospace building—doubling its warehouse size to 30,000 square feet, housing over 6000 pieces of new furnishings, as well as gently used merchandise from five star hotels. Interior designers and set decorators can be found shopping alongside the average consumer.
There’s always super deals at Hotel Surplus Outlet, but through Memorial Day Weekend, they are blowing out merchandise with a giant parking lot and warehouse clearance sale with items at a 50%-90% savings off their already incredibly discounted prices.

Owner Don Fenning opened the business in 1998 primarily selling gently used furnishings from luxury hotels, including The Peninsula Beverly Hills, Regent Beverly Wilshire, Four Seasons, The Lodge at Pebble Beach, Shutters. He’s still selling the hotel goods, but in addition he carries brand new pieces from overstock and liquidations—plus, he works with over 25 wholesale manufacturers for new orders.

Whether you’re looking for couches, tables, desks, chairs, lamps, chandeliers, bric-a-brac, and even drapes, there’s a good chance you’ll find it here. And if you can’t, just ask. They will try to order it for you—at a great discount of course.

There’s also a selection of upscale items that catch you by surprise — Moroccan inspired chandeliers originally sold at Neiman Marcus for $700-$900 are $200-$300 here; modern boxes and mirrored trays are $29.95-$39.95.
“In today’s challenged economy we’ve been able to to find a wide array of great and varied new furnishings at cut rate pricing,” said Fenning. “The inventory is ever changing. If there are numerous fine hotel projects ongoing , the mix might be slanted towards the hotel liquidation goods. When better hotel goods are harder to find, we find deals on new goods and closeout buys.”
