AC Hotel Alcalá

The land on which the building sits is located in the sector 36 of the General Urban Development Plan of Alcalá de Henares and provides an outstanding singularity: the northern side of the plot faces the A2 dual carriageway. Therefore, the structure to be built could be observed from the dual carriageway in both directions –Madrid and Barcelona– well in advance and perspective.

The axis of the hotel´s typical floorplan, which is perpendicular to the A2 dual carriageway and is facing according to the north-south component, ensures that each and every room is sunlight and let the A2 to be seen from them. Consequently, although the ambient noise produced by the traffic of such an important inter-urban artery is not perceived from the inside because of the soundproof windows, the visual spectacle seen from this building –hundreds of cars driving in both directions of multi-lane roads– makes it gain special prominence as fascinating vantage point.
