How do I get to the hotel from Sheremetyevo Airport?

Arbat Hotel

It is a little over 30km by road from Sheremetyevo Airport, situated to the north-east of downtown Moscow, to the Arbat Hotel. The most comfortable way to reach the hotel is undoubtedly by taxi or pre-booked transfer, but Moscow's perennially heavy traffic means that the rail link is often quicker.

By taxi
It should take around 45 minutes to reach the hotel in clear traffic. Official airport taxis currently cost around $60, or if you prefer you can book an airport transfer to meet your flight here.

By train
Aeroexpress trains will take you from the station at Sheremetyevo (behind Terminals D, E and F, with a free bus connection from Terminal B) to Belarus Rail Station. The service operates daily every 30 minutes from 5am to 12.30am, with a journey time of around 35 minutes. Standard adult tickets cost roughly $11. From Belarus Station, take the metro (Belorusskaya Metro Station) and travel anticlockwise on the brown circle line two stops to Kievskaya. Change there to the dark-blue line, and head east one stop to Smolenskaya, which is around 200m on foot from the Arbat Hotel.

By bus
There are also buses running from all terminals at the airport to Rechnoy Vokzal Metro Station in the far north of Moscow. Regular buses run from 5.35am to 12.49am, take around 30 minutes to reach the metro, and cost around $1. Be sure to use the 851E service (as opposed to simply 851), to avoid a long journey with several suburban stops. There is also a marshrutka minibus shuttle that runs the same route from 6.45am and 9.45pm, is slightly quicker, and costs a little over $2.

From Rechnoy Vokzal, head south nine stops on the dark-green line to Teatralnaya, change to the dark-blue line and travel west two stops to Smolenskaya Station, which is around five minutes' walk from the Arbat Hotel.
