The Oakland Hotel is a historic building in Oakland, California. It was built as a luxury hotel by P.J. Walker in 1912, with investments from businessmen Francis Marion Smith, Edson Adams and W.W.

The building was designed in the Renaissance Revival style by architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 4, 1979.[1]
