Fairway Colombo

Fairway Colombo is a city hotel in Colombo Fort, opposite the World Trade Center and behind the Old Dutch Hospital. It is popular with business travellers and with visitors who want to be close to the old town. The interiors mix traditional and contemporary design, and paintings by the Sri Lankan artist Anoma Wijewardene are displayed around the hotel, some of them for sale.

How to Get There

Fairway Colombo is in Colombo Fort, a short walk from the old Dutch Hospital. From Bandaranaike International Airport it is about 30 km by road, about 45 minutes, travelling down the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway into the city.

Most of the city's sights, restaurants and shops are a short tuk tuk or taxi ride away.

To keep arrival simple, ask us for a private transfer with a chauffeur who meets you outside arrivals. You can keep the car for touring afterwards. Times are approximate and depend on traffic, especially around Colombo.
