Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Holiday Inn Brussels - Schuman, an IHG Hotel

The drive from Zaventem to Schuman

The route covers 13 km (8 miles) and usually takes around 15 minutes by road. It runs from the airport into the east of Brussels and on to the European Quarter, where the hotel stands. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the busiest times on the approach roads into the city, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a meeting or a tight check-in window. Because the transfer is private, you travel straight to the hotel entrance without stops or shared pick-ups.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight there from baggage reclaim.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you are travelling with several suitcases, the four-passenger option gives a little more flexibility.

Larger groups are covered by private minibuses:

• 8 seats for a bigger family or a small team
• 16 and 24 seats for business delegations or tour parties
• 32 to 64 seats for conference groups, school trips and large events

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, so you can arrange it in advance for any group size.
