Brussels Airport Hotel and Parking Packages
Brussels Airport sits at Zaventem, northeast of the capital, and draws passengers from across Belgium and the adjacent Dutch and German border regions. Parking at the airport is workable for short trips but escalates in cost for longer holidays. A park and fly hotel in the Zaventem area cuts that cost, and three hotels near Brussels Airport offer packages ranging from full-service premium to mid-range with a shuttle.
How it works
Book a hotel and parking bundle through Aerfortel. Drive to the hotel the evening before your flight and leave the car in the hotel car park for the duration of your trip. The hotel shuttle takes you to the terminal on departure day. When your return flight lands at Brussels, the shuttle brings you back to the hotel and you drive home. The Sheraton is close enough that a shuttle is optional for some guests.
Hotels with park and fly at Brussels Airport
Sheraton Brussels Airport
Three hundred metres from the terminal and within the airport complex, the Sheraton Brussels Airport is the closest and most premium option in the area. At 4 stars with no shuttle required for most routes into the terminal, it offers the quickest access to departures. Full restaurant, bar, and fitness centre. Business travellers flying Brussels Airlines or connecting through will find the proximity and quality a strong combination.
Holiday Inn Brussels Airport
One kilometre from the terminal with a shuttle, the Holiday Inn Brussels Airport is a solid mid-range option in a market where the Sheraton sets a high premium bar. The Holiday Inn format includes a restaurant and a proper bar, and the rooms are well-sized. For travellers who want a step up from budget without the Sheraton price, this is the natural choice. Shuttle runs regularly to and from the terminal.
Novotel Brussels Airport
At 0.5km from the terminal with a shuttle, the Novotel Brussels Airport sits between the Sheraton and the Holiday Inn on both price and proximity. Four stars, which at Novotel means practical comfort rather than luxury. Good for families: the rooms are spacious, and Novotel’s family-friendly policies mean children can often share parents’ rooms. A reliable, well-managed airport hotel.

Frequently asked questions
Is it practical to drive to Brussels Airport from Ghent or Antwerp?
Both cities are within 50km of Brussels Airport, making it reasonable to drive and use a park and fly hotel. From Ghent, allow about 45 minutes; from Antwerp, around 30 minutes without traffic. The E40 and E313 connect directly to the airport. Checking in the night before avoids rush-hour traffic on the morning of your flight.
How does park and fly at Brussels Airport compare to the airport’s own car parks?
Brussels Airport offers both short-stay and long-stay parking. The long-stay P4 is the most affordable, but still adds up for week-long trips. Combining a hotel night with the park and fly rate typically matches or beats P4 pricing for stays of five days or more. Book early to maximise savings.
Do all three hotels shuttle to departures and arrivals?
The Holiday Inn and Novotel both run shuttles to and from the terminal. The Sheraton is close enough to walk, though a shuttle is available on request. Confirm shuttle times for arrivals when you check in, particularly if your return flight is expected to land late in the evening.
Can I park at a Brussels Airport hotel for more than two weeks?
Standard park and fly packages cover up to 15 days. Extended parking beyond this is available at most hotels for a supplement. Contact the hotel directly before booking if your trip exceeds 15 days.
