Where to Stay When Visiting Biogen (Cambridge)

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

Biogen's headquarters is in Cambridge. Boston's core runs on the T; the 128 and 495 belts run on cars. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Biogen's HQ in Cambridge (225 Binney St): stay in the Cambridge area near the office. Stay in Kendall Square near Biogen — the hotels sit among the labs and offices, steps from the Red line and a short ride from Logan. You can walk to most Kendall campuses; a car is unnecessary. Boston Logan (BOS) is about 15 minutes from Kendall Square across the river — the airport for the area. The Red line's Kendall/MIT station sits in the middle of it all, so you can train in with a quick transfer, though a cab from Logan is simple. Manchester and Providence are distant budget options.

Biogen is a biotechnology company focused on neurological diseases, headquartered at 225 Binney St, Cambridge, MA 02142. That's Kendall Square in Cambridge — the densest biotech-and-tech cluster on earth, home to Biogen, Moderna, Akamai, and HubSpot around MIT, on the Red line across the river from Boston.
