Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to The Hotel Brussels

The drive from CRL to central Brussels

The transfer covers 58 km (36 miles) and typically takes 51 minutes. Most of the route runs north on the motorway towards the capital, then continues through city streets to the hotel. Weekday rush hours, especially the morning hours into Brussels and the late afternoon, can slow the final stretch, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch. This route is booked only occasionally, but the driver knows the way to the hotel.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families usually take a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you have a lot of luggage, the 4-passenger version gives you more flexibility. For groups of up to 8, a private minibus with 8 seats is the natural choice. Larger parties such as school trips, wedding guests or conference delegates can choose from minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats.

The Hotel Brussels and where else to stay

The Hotel Brussels is a hotel in the centre of the Belgian capital. Its location makes it a practical base for business trips as well as sightseeing. After the road transfer from Charleroi, you are dropped at the door and can go straight to check-in.

If you are comparing options in Brussels, a few long-established names are worth knowing:

• Hotel Metropole, a historic grand hotel on Place de Brouckère that dates back to the 19th century.
• Hotel Amigo, a well-known address right next to the Grand-Place.
• Hotel Le Plaza, a classic city-centre hotel near the Boulevard Adolphe Max.
