Taking over the corner of Praia do Flamengo with Rua Paissand, the project of Henri Sajous articulated the two facades of the building through the cylindrical volume of the corner, which was furnished with glass and grated with delicate ornamentations, smoothing the encounter of the two portions of the building. The result is an elegant and proportional set of lines. Paysandu Hotel: This is another epoch building worthwhile paying a visit. The Hotel faade and the hotel hanging sign couldn't represent more the art deco style. The hotel reached its popularity peak in the fifties, when it accommodated Uruguay National Soccer Team during the 1950 World Cup in Rio. Uruguay eventually won the cup adding prestige to the hotel. Botafogo, one of the most traditional soccer teams in Rio, also used to Paysandu Hotel to prepare for its important games. Mythical soccer player Man Garrincha and Nilton Santos were frequent guests of Paysandu Hotel. These are only some of Flamengos architectural gems. Other art buildings in the neighborhood include the Modern Art Museum.
