The Sheraton Colombo Hotel sits on Galle Road in Kollupitiya, Colombo 3, one of the city's established hotel and commercial districts, within easy reach of Galle Face Green, the Gangaramaya Temple and the National Museum. It's a large, full-service five-star property with 279 rooms, operated under Marriott's Sheraton brand, and its design and room product follow the brand's international standard rather than leaning into a distinctly Sri Lankan aesthetic.
Rooms are fitted with the brand's Sheraton Signature bed, along with standard five-star amenities: flat-screen televisions, a work desk, a minibar, an electronic safe and a rain shower with a separate bathtub in most categories. The hotel's dining spread runs to five separate venues, including a breakfast buffet restaurant, a bakery, a social lounge, a Pan-Asian restaurant and a rooftop bar, an unusually wide spread of options for a single Colombo hotel of this size.
The pool is set on the hotel's top floor, sharing the same level as the rooftop bar, which gives it a skyline outlook rather than a ground-level garden setting, a layout that suits the hotel's dense, urban site in the middle of Colombo 3 rather than fighting against it. Shine Spa and a dedicated Sheraton Fitness facility round out the wellness offering, and the hotel carries a substantial events footprint, with over 7,800 square feet of flexible meeting and function space aimed at both corporate and social bookings.
As a Kollupitiya property, the hotel sits in the part of Colombo where the city's older diplomatic and residential character overlaps with its newer commercial one; Galle Road here runs past embassies, long-established restaurants and newer office towers alike. The Sheraton's position on that road puts it within the city's core rather than on its outskirts, in a district that has been part of Colombo's hotel landscape for decades even as the specific building is more recent.

Questions about this transfer
How much is a taxi from Colombo airport to Sheraton Colombo?
From Rs 5,070 for the 37.7 km, about 51 min. That is a fixed price for the whole car, quoted before you book, not a meter reading.
How long does the transfer to Sheraton Colombo take?
About 51 min in normal traffic. Arrivals at Bandaranaike are busiest in the early morning, when the long-haul flights land together.
Will the driver wait if my flight is late?
Yes. Give your flight number when you book and your driver has it. There is no automatic flight tracking yet, so if you are delayed, message your driver on the number in your confirmation. Extended waiting beyond the pickup window is chargeable on a point-to-point transfer, and the terms say by how much.
Can I book a return transfer from Sheraton Colombo?
Yes — the same journey in reverse, at the same fixed price, booked at the same time or later.

How this transfer works
One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number when you book and your driver has it.
The return leg from Sheraton Colombo is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 51 min back to that.
