Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hotel NH Brussels EU Berlaymont

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without any searching.

The Drive to the European Quarter

The route covers 13 km (8 miles) and usually takes about 17 minutes. The journey leads from the airport towards the centre of Brussels and ends in the European Quarter. Traffic on this approach is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a meeting at the EU institutions. Outside those hours the trip is normally quick and straightforward.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families fit comfortably in a private taxi, available for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you travel with several suitcases, the 4-seat option gives you a little more flexibility. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8 seats, or step up through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. This suits delegations, conference groups and tour parties heading to the same address, and everyone arrives together in one vehicle.

About Hotel NH Brussels EU Berlaymont

The hotel is part of the NH Hotels group and sits in the European Quarter, close to the Berlaymont building, the headquarters of the European Commission. The area is a working district of offices, institutions and meeting venues, which is why many guests here are business travellers and delegates. Schuman, the main hub of the quarter, is within easy reach. Restaurants and cafés are close by, and the Cinquantenaire Park is a pleasant place to walk once the working day ends.

Other Places to Stay Nearby

The European Quarter has several well-established hotels besides NH Brussels EU Berlaymont. Sofitel Brussels Europe is located near Place Jourdan, and Thon Hotel EU stands on Rue de la Loi. Both cater mostly to business and institutional travellers. If your booking is for a different hotel in the same district, the drive from the airport is much the same, so you can share the destination with your driver in advance.
