Across

There is a hotel across from the embassy. What does across mean? Can somebody show me a picture, please? The dictionary says on the opposite side but I am still confused. Can somebody draw a picture for me please?

It means that something (something that one needs to cross) lies between the embassy and the hotel. With no further information this is most likely a road, but it could potentially be a park, a square, a river, etc.

I got it. So, it means there is something between the hotel and the embassy, right?
