Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Best Western Royal Centre, Brussels

The drive from Zaventem to central Brussels

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Best Western Royal Centre covers about 15 km (9 miles). The typical driving time is around 21 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Traffic on the roads into Brussels can build up on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a meeting, a check-in deadline or a tight schedule. Your driver knows the usual approach roads and adjusts to conditions on the day.

Best Western Royal Centre is a hotel in the city of Brussels, which makes this a straightforward ride from the airport into the urban area. A private transfer takes you to the entrance without a change of vehicle and without carrying luggage through stations.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, offered for either 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases, take the larger of the two so everyone has room. For bigger groups, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. These suit conference delegations, school trips, sports teams and tour groups arriving on the same flight, and the whole party can ride together to the hotel.
