Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there from the baggage hall.

The Drive to the Hotel

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels covers 15 km (10 miles) and usually takes about 23 minutes. The road leads from the airport area into the centre of Brussels, and the last stretch runs through city streets. During the morning and evening rush hours the approach to the centre can be slower, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a meeting or a dinner reservation soon after arrival. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver will take you to the hotel entrance.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for a group of friends or a larger family with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 to 24 Seats: works for conference delegations, wedding parties and tour groups.
• Private Minibus 32 to 64 Seats: intended for large groups, such as company events, school trips and organised tours, who want to arrive together.

If you are travelling with sports equipment, many suitcases or a pushchair, pick the next size up so everyone rides comfortably.

About the Hotel and Where to Stay in Brussels

Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels is a historic hotel on Rue Royale in central Brussels. It dates from the early 20th century and is known for its Belle Époque character. The location puts the Royal Quarter, the Botanical Garden area and the Grand Place within reach of the hotel.

Brussels has other long-established hotels if you are comparing options or travelling with colleagues who are staying elsewhere:

• Hotel Metropole, a 19th-century grand hotel on Place de Brouckère.
• Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand Place.
• Le Plaza Brussels, on Boulevard Adolphe Max, a hotel with a classic 1930s style.

Whichever hotel you choose, a pre-arranged transfer saves you from queuing for a taxi after your flight and from working out the route to the city centre.
