By taxi
The drive will take between 50 and 90 minutes, depending on 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 south on the dark-green line four stops to Novokuznetskaya. Change there to the orange line, and head south three stops to to Leninsky Prospekt, which is about 10 minutes’ walk from the Sputnik 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 the 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 only costs a little over $2.
From Rechnoy Vokzal, head south ten stops on the dark-green line to Novokuznetskaya. Change there to the orange line, and head south three stops to Leninsky Prospekt, which is about 10 minutes’ walk from the Sputnik Hotel.
