Hotel zones
- Galle Face and Fort$$$
Landmark seafront hotels, promenade access and major sights make this Colombo's strongest spectator base. The final 2026 start, transition and closure plan is not yet a safe assumption, so verify official access routes and hotel entrances before booking.

A lively coastal corridor with varied hotels, food and rail access, well suited to families wanting city conveniences. Race-day movement along the coast may be disrupted; verify the athlete guide, transition location and viable early transport.
