Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Atlas Hotel Brussels

The drive from CRL to central Brussels

The route covers 57 km (36 miles) and typically takes around 51 minutes. Most of the way is motorway, followed by city streets as you approach the centre. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic on the Brussels ring and the inner roads can slow things down, so add a buffer if you have a meeting, a check-in deadline or a dinner reservation. This is an occasionally booked route, which makes booking ahead the sensible choice.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on your party size and luggage:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suited to solo travellers, couples and families.
• Private Minibus with 8 or 16 seats for friends, extended families and small business groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus with 24 to 64 seats for conferences, school trips, tour parties and larger events.

If you are unsure which option fits, count your suitcases as well as your passengers and choose the larger size when in doubt.

Atlas Hotel Brussels as a destination

Atlas Hotel is a hotel in central Brussels, in an area where restaurants, cafés and many of the city's main sights are within walking distance. Streets in the old centre can be narrow and partly restricted to traffic. Your driver will stop as close to the entrance as the road layout permits. Have the hotel name and your booking details at hand when you arrive.

Other well-known places to stay in Brussels

If you are comparing options in the city, a few long-established hotels are worth knowing. Hotel Metropole on Place De Brouckère is a historic grand hotel dating from the late 19th century. Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand-Place, is another classic address in the heart of the old town. Le Plaza Brussels is a long-standing hotel near the Botanique, known for its early 20th-century style. All three are in Brussels itself and can be reached by the same kind of transfer from Charleroi Airport.
