The Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, was the hotel where the author Mark Twain heard a story that he would later turn into his short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County".^{[citation needed]}

The hotel was originally a canvas tent erected by C. C. Lake in 1851, and replaced by a one-story wooden structure. It was rebuilt with stone in 1855, and a second story was added in 1857.^{[citation needed]}

In front of the building is the "Frog Hop of Fame", where commemorative plaques are embedded in the sidewalk for the winners of the annual Jumping Frog Jubilee frog jumping contest.^{[citation needed]}

The building, no longer operated as a hotel, is registered as California Historical Landmark #734.^[2] It was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.^[1] It is currently an apartment complex.
