Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Hotel NH Brussels EU Berlaymont

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the 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 and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from CRL to the Hotel

The route covers 60 km (37 miles) and typically takes around 56 minutes. It leads from the Charleroi area north towards the Brussels ring and then into the city centre and the European Quarter. Outside rush hour the journey tends to run smoothly. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, traffic around Brussels and on the inner approach roads can slow things down, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a meeting at the hotel. This route is booked only occasionally, and each transfer is arranged as a private ride, so the car is yours alone and there are no shared stops on the way.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and your luggage.

For bigger parties, private minibuses are available in these sizes:

• 8 seats for groups of up to 8
• 16 and 24 seats for delegations and tour parties
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for larger organised groups
• 56 and 64 seats for the biggest events and conferences

If you travel with a lot of suitcases or equipment, consider going up one size so everyone has room.

About Hotel NH Brussels EU Berlaymont

The hotel stands in Brussels' European Quarter, the district around the Schuman area and the Berlaymont building, which houses the European Commission. The area is popular with business travellers, delegations and visitors attending EU-related meetings. Restaurants, cafés and public transport are close by, which makes it practical to get around the city on foot or by metro. Because the Quarter is busy on working days, it helps to tell your driver the exact hotel name when you book so the drop-off goes smoothly.
