The Drive to The Dominican

The route covers 15 km (10 miles) and usually takes around 26 minutes. The road runs from the airport into the centre of Brussels, and the last stretch passes through city streets. During the weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours the approach to the centre can slow down, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or dinner reservation. Roadworks and events in the centre can also affect the final part of the trip, which a local driver knows how to handle.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually do well with a private taxi, available for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you have several large suitcases, the 4-seat option is a good choice even for three people, because it leaves more room for luggage.

Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits family gatherings, wedding guests, conference delegations and tour groups who want to arrive together instead of splitting up into several cars.

About The Dominican and the Surrounding Area

The Dominican is a hotel in the heart of Brussels, set in the historic centre close to the Grand-Place and the La Monnaie opera house. The area is known for its theatres, cafés and restaurants, and many of the main sights can be reached on foot. Because the old centre has narrow streets and some pedestrian zones, your driver will stop at the closest practical point to the entrance.
