Where to Stay When Visiting Bayer (Whippany)
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.
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.
“Bayer's U.S. HQ is a sprawling Whippany campus. The Hanover Marriott next door is about as close as a hotel gets; fly Newark.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
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.
Where should you stay near Bayer?
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.
