Where to Stay When Visiting Bayer (Whippany)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Bayer's headquarters is in Whippany, New Jersey. Stay near the campus, not across the river. There's rarely a reason to pay Manhattan prices and reverse-commute.

Direct answer: Visiting Bayer (U.S. headquarters)'s Whippany, NJ HQ (100 Bayer Blvd): stay in the Parsippany / Morris County area near the office. Stay in the Parsippany / Whippany area near Bayer — the office parks and their hotels sit minutes apart off I-287. Downtown Newark and Manhattan are both a half-hour-plus east and unnecessary for a Morris County visit. Newark Liberty (EWR) is the airport — about 30 minutes southeast via I-280. Morristown (MMU) nearby handles private aviation. Skip the New York airports; EWR is the run.

Bayer (U.S. headquarters) is the U.S. headquarters of the German life-sciences company Bayer (pharmaceuticals, consumer health, and crop science), headquartered at 100 Bayer Blvd, Whippany, NJ 07981. That's the Parsippany / Morris County corridor along I-287 and I-80 — a dense suburban office market (much of it right on Sylvan Way) home to Wyndham, Avis Budget, Zoetis, and more, about 30 miles west of Manhattan.
