Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hotel Aris Grand-Place, 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 without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Hotel Aris Grand-Place

The route covers 15 km (9 miles) and typically takes around 23 minutes. Most of the trip is on the roads from Zaventem into the city centre. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the last stretch into Brussels, so allow some extra time if you have a tight connection or a check-in deadline. The streets around the Grand-Place are narrow and partly pedestrianised, so your driver may drop you at the nearest point the vehicle can reach, just a short walk from the hotel.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

• Private Taxi: suits solo travellers, couples and small families, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for a group of friends or a larger family with luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 to 24 Seats: works for tour groups, wedding parties and business delegations.
• Private Minibus 32 to 64 Seats: covers larger groups such as conferences, school trips and coach-sized parties.

Public Transport Option

Train to Brussels-Central, then walk to the hotel, no change required, approx. 30–40 minutes total. The airport station is below the terminal, and Brussels-Central is the closest main station to the Grand-Place area. With luggage, a private transfer is usually more comfortable, especially late at night or when travelling in a group.

Where to Stay Around the Grand-Place

Hotel Aris Grand-Place sits in the historic heart of Brussels, within walking distance of the Grand-Place, restaurants and the main shopping streets. If you are comparing options in the same area, two long-established central hotels are Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand-Place, and the Hotel Métropole, a historic hotel on Place de Brouckère. The old town is compact, so most sights can be reached on foot after you arrive.
