How do I get to the hotel from Sheremetevo Airport?
The easiest way to get to the hotel is certainly by taxi or pre-ordered transfer. The drive should take between 40 minutes and an hour. Another possibility is to catch one of the marshrutki, or minibus-taxis, which leave from near the exit of the arrivals lounge every five to 10 minutes and take 20 minutes to reach Rechnoi Vokzal metro station. Trains run direct to Teatralnaya, which is around 10 minutes' walk from the hotel. |

How do I get to the hotel from Domodedovo Airport?
While the most comfortable option is undoubtedly taxi or pre-ordered transfer (the drive will take over an hour), public transport links to Domodedovo are very good. The Aeroexpress train runs from the airport every hour (every half-hour at peak times), and takes just over 40 minutes to reach Paveletsky Station. From there take the metro direct to Teatralnaya Metro Station (two stops), which is just over ten minutes' walk from the Akvarel Hotel. Late at night and very early in the morning the only public transport option is the shuttle minibus service, which runs between the airport and Domodedovskaya Metro Station. The journey to the metro takes just under 30 minutes, and the metro ride to Teatralnaya (direct line) takes at least that again. |
