Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Brussels Benit Ixelles Residence, Brussels

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Ixelles

The route covers 16 km (10 miles) and usually takes about 25 minutes. The road runs from Zaventem towards the city, and the final stretch leads into Ixelles, one of the southern municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours on the approach roads can slow things down, and roadworks or events in the city can add time. If you have a tight connection or an early appointment, build in a little extra margin. As this route is booked less often than some others, it is arranged on request, just like every other transfer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 24 Seats: works for team trips, school groups and small delegations.
• Private Minibus 32 to 64 Seats: available for conferences, tours and large organised groups.

If you carry bulky items such as sports gear or several large suitcases, consider choosing the next size up for comfort.

About Ixelles and Where to Stay

Ixelles is a lively, largely residential part of Brussels, known for its cafés, restaurants, international community and the Ixelles Ponds. Its streets are a mix of townhouses and apartment buildings, and it sits close to the university area and the shopping streets around Avenue Louise. A serviced residence here gives you a quieter base than the busiest tourist districts while keeping the centre within easy reach.

If you are still comparing places to stay, the nearby city centre of Brussels has several well-established hotels, including Hotel Amigo, Hotel Métropole and Le Plaza Brussels. They are a short ride from Ixelles, which makes them useful reference points when planning an itinerary around the city.
