Where to Stay When Visiting Comcast (Philadelphia)
Comcast's headquarters is in Philadelphia. Center City rides SEPTA; the suburban office belt needs a car. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.
Comcast is a media and telecommunications company (Xfinity, NBCUniversal, Sky), headquartered at 1701 John F Kennedy Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19103. That's Center City and University City — Philadelphia's walkable downtown, where Comcast towers over the skyline and Aramark sits on Market Street, with FMC just across the Schuylkill in University City by Penn and Drexel.
“Comcast towers over Center City — and the Four Seasons is in the same building. Book it and the commute is an elevator.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
Philadelphia International (PHL) is the airport — about 20 minutes southwest, and SEPTA's Airport Line regional rail runs from the terminals into Center City for a few dollars. One airport, so no choice to make; Center City is walkable and served by SEPTA's subway and regional rail.

The standard
