The Hollywood Athletic Club at 6525 Sunset was the tallest building in Hollywood when it was built in 1924. It was established by Cecil B. De Mille, Charlie Chaplin, Lon Chaney and Rudolf Valentino as an elite sports club. Charlie Chaplin lived in the penthouse. In the 90s it was still A-list only, but as a nightclub. George Clooney and Keanu Reeves reportedly played pool here. The club is currently used only as a film set.
