Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hotel Catalonia Brussels

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from CRL to Hotel Catalonia Brussels

The route covers 54 km (34 miles) and usually takes about 48 minutes. Charleroi lies south of the capital, so you travel north towards Brussels, and most of the journey is on motorway. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Brussels is known for heavy traffic at the morning and evening rush hours, and roadworks can add delays at any time. If you have a fixed check-in, a dinner reservation or a meeting, build in a little extra time. Your driver follows the quickest route on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, suitable for solo travellers, couples, families and small business parties.
• Private Minibus with 8 seats for parties of up to 8 who want extra room for bags.
• Private Minibus with 16 to 64 seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64) for tour groups, conference delegations, school trips and teams of any size.

If you are unsure which option suits your party, choose by the number of passengers and add a size up if you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment or large suitcases.

Places to Stay in Brussels

Your destination is Hotel Catalonia Brussels. Keep the address from your booking confirmation handy so the driver can confirm the exact drop-off point. If you are comparing other options in the city, these are three well-established Brussels hotels:

• Hotel Metropole, a historic grand hotel dating from the late nineteenth century.
• Hotel Amigo, a long-standing luxury address in the old centre.
• Hotel Le Plaza Brussels, a classic hotel with a traditional style.

On arrival, your driver will drop you as close to the hotel entrance as traffic and local rules allow, which saves you the effort of finding your own way with luggage after a flight.
