Barcelona is located 150 km from La Jonquera, the French border. The French motorway network connects to the A-7 - C33 Barcelona motorway. You can enter the city via the ring roads or the Avinguda Meridiana which leads to the centre.

From the south, if you’re entering from the rest of Spain join the A-2 motorway and enter the city via the Avinguda Diagonal.

Coming from France by A7 or C33, the easiest way is: arriving in Barcelona, follow the signs Av. Meridiana and then take Aragón Street. Then turn left when you want and take the second to the right (Diputación Street). Once you are there, you just have to look for the corner with Rambla de Cataluña, and the hotel is right there. And coming from south by A2, just follow Diagonal Avenue up to Paseig de Gracia. Then turn right up to Diputació Street, and then next corner is the hotel.
