Francisco Serrador Building, Art Deco building in Cinelândia district, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Francisco Serrador Building rises 23 floors above downtown Rio de Janeiro, featuring copper panels and noble marble floors at its grand entrance.

The structure, completed in 1944, started as Latin America's largest hotel before transforming into office spaces through multiple ownership changes over decades.

The building contained the Night and Day nightclub during the 1960s, which drew politicians and celebrities with its Cole Porter musical inspiration.

The structure currently serves as the new headquarters of Rio de Janeiro's City Council, purchased for 150 million Brazilian reais in 2022.

The building maintains protected architectural elements from 2015, including its original rooftop design and Art Deco features.
