The Drive to Hotel Chantecler

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hotel Chantecler covers 18 km (11 miles) and usually takes around 30 minutes. That is a comfortable ride after a flight, and you go door to door without changing vehicles or handling luggage on public platforms.

Traffic around Brussels can slow things down, particularly on weekday mornings and late afternoons when commuters fill the ring road and the main roads into the city. If you have a tight schedule on departure day, allow some extra time on top of the typical 30 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Match the vehicle to your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi: for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 or 16 Seats: for larger families, friends travelling together or small teams with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 24 to 40 Seats: for tour parties, conference delegations and school or club groups.
• Private Minibus 48, 56 or 64 Seats: for very large groups that want to arrive together in one vehicle.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up when you have bulky luggage such as sports equipment or several large suitcases.
