Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport, an IHG Hotel

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.

The Drive to the Hotel

The hotel lies just 2 km (2 miles) from the terminal, and the ride typically takes around 5 minutes. This is one of the shortest transfers you can book from Brussels Zaventem Airport, so there is little to plan around. Even so, the roads around the airport and the business district of Diegem can slow down during the morning and evening rush, so it is sensible to allow a few extra minutes if you have a meeting or a tight schedule on arrival.

Because the trip is so short, a pre-arranged private transfer mainly saves you the effort of finding a ride after a long flight, especially with heavy luggage or tired children. This route is booked less often than the big city connections, but it is available on request like any other.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus, 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or colleagues travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus, 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour groups, conference delegates, sports teams and airline or corporate parties heading to the same hotel.

Choose the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage, and pick the larger option if you are close to the limit.

Places to Stay Around Diegem

Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport, an IHG Hotel, sits in the Diegem area next to the airport. It is a business-oriented hotel with meeting facilities, which makes it practical for conference visitors, crews and travellers with early departures or late arrivals. Other well-known hotels in the same airport zone include the Holiday Inn Brussels Airport in Diegem and the Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel, which stands close to the terminal. All of them serve travellers who want a short hop from the runway rather than a stay in central Brussels.
