Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hotel Barsey by Warwick, Brussels

The drive from Charleroi to central Brussels

The journey from Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hotel Barsey by Warwick covers 55 km (35 miles) and typically takes 53 minutes. Most of the route follows the motorway north towards the capital, then continues into the city itself. Traffic on the Brussels ring and on the approach to Avenue Louise can slow things down at the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so add some buffer if you have a meeting or a tight check-in. This route is booked less often than the big airport-to-city runs, but it is available on request just like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural fit: one option seats up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. If your group is larger or carries a lot of luggage, minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Conference delegations, wedding parties and tour groups heading to the same hotel can be arranged this way, and the vehicle is matched to your group size when you book.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Starbucks holding a personalised name sign. It is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over after the baggage hall.

Hotel Barsey by Warwick

Hotel Barsey is a boutique-style hotel on Avenue Louise, one of Brussels' best-known boulevards. The avenue is lined with shops, restaurants and embassies, and the Bois de la Cambre park lies at its southern end. Guests often choose the area for its upmarket feel and the easy access to the city centre. A private transfer drops you right at the entrance, which saves hauling bags through the city on trams or the metro.

Other well-known places to stay in Brussels

If you are comparing options in the capital, a few long-established names stand out. Hotel Metropole, on Place de Brouckère, is a grand 19th-century hotel and the only one of its era still operating in the city centre. Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand-Place, is another familiar address, as is Le Plaza Brussels on Boulevard Adolphe Max, a historic hotel dating back to the 1930s. We can take you to any of them from Charleroi Airport.
