How far is the hotel from Coimbatore airport?
The Acacia Hotel is about a 14-minute drive from Coimbatore International Airport, or about 59 minutes on foot. The airport address is Airport Road, Peelamedu - Pudur Main Rd, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu 641014, India.
For an arrival with luggage, plan around the car journey rather than the walking time.

A TNSTC service runs between the airport and Gandhipuram, but its frequency, operating hours and fare are not stated.
Compare airport transfer options
Pre-paid taxis, app-based cabs and public buses are the main airport-to-city options described by the airport authority and airlines. The best fit depends on where you are going and what service is available when you arrive.
Pre-paid taxi
The Airports Authority of India says a pre-paid booking counter for Kovai Airport Tourist Taxi Driver & Owner Association is on both the arrival and city sides of the airport. Air India includes pre-paid taxis among airport transport choices. Ask at the counter about the fare and whether the service can take you directly to the hotel.
App-based ride
Uber gives sample Coimbatore Airport options including Uber Go, Premier, Go Non AC, UberXL, Auto and Go Rentals. Options may not all be available when you check the app; Uber says its Uber taxi option is not available for trips to or from the airport and suggests requesting Uber Go instead.
After landing, request a ride in the app and follow its directions to meet the driver. The pickup point can depend on the ride you request, so use the in-app instructions or airport rideshare-zone signs rather than assuming every ride leaves from the same place.
Public bus
The airport authority identifies a TNSTC service between the airport and Gandhipuram, while Air India includes public buses among the transport options. The service frequency, hours and fare are not stated, so confirm those details before relying on the bus for the hotel transfer.
What to check before you leave the terminal
Before leaving the terminal, confirm your transport option and its pickup point. Air India says information boards and footmarks direct passengers to the taxi waiting area. The Airports Authority of India’s site plan shows a bus bay, road-side parking, an app-based cab and pre-paid taxi parking area, and a city-side road.
For an app ride, wait until you have landed to request it, then follow the directions in the app to the assigned meeting point.
If you choose a pre-paid taxi, use the booking counter and confirm the fare and destination with the service before you depart. For a bus, check the current service details with the operator; the airport authority does not state the frequency, hours or fare.
Transport arrangements can change, so check the official site before you go. For airport transport, consult the Airports Authority of India, and check the ride app for current pickup instructions and available services.
Plan for late arrivals and onward travel
If your flight arrives late, do not assume that a bus or a particular app-based ride will be operating. The airport information does not establish bus hours or service frequency, and Uber cautions that its sample ride choices may not be available when you check. Confirm your option after landing and follow the relevant operator’s instructions.
If you are continuing into the city after reaching the hotel, the guide to getting around Coimbatore by bus, train and local rides covers broader transport choices.
