Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Stanhope Hotel Brussels by Thon Hotels

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive from CRL to the Hotel

The route covers 58 km (36 miles) and usually takes around 52 minutes. The road leads north from Charleroi towards the Brussels ring, and the last stretch runs through city traffic. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow the approach to central Brussels, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make after check-in.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

A private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits individual travellers, couples and families with luggage. For bigger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Choose the option that matches your group size and the amount of baggage you carry, and the driver takes you straight to the hotel entrance.
