Your transfer to Mövenpick Hotel Colombo

Mövenpick Hotel Colombo is in Colombo 3, 39 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 45 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Colombo. Mövenpick Hotel Colombo is about 2 kilometres south-west of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Colombo; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It is on the far side of Colombo from the airport, about 2 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Mövenpick Hotel Colombo is about 30 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 39 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Granbell Hotel Colombo in Colombo 3, a few minutes on foot.
