Where to Stay When Visiting IBM (Armonk)

IBM's headquarters is in Armonk, Westchester. Pick the right district — and the right airport. In New York, the airport choice quietly decides the trip.

IBM is a technology and consulting company, headquartered at 1 New Orchard Rd, Armonk, NY 10504. That's Westchester — the suburban county north of the city where PepsiCo, Mastercard, and IBM keep campus headquarters, about 30 miles from Manhattan, with business hotels clustered in downtown White Plains.

“IBM has been in Armonk since 1964 — a corporate campus in the Westchester woods. Stay in White Plains and fly HPN, the county airport minutes away.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Which airport — and how far?

Here's the insider move: Westchester County Airport (HPN) is minutes away — about 15 — and right by the Purchase and Armonk campuses, so for a Westchester visit it beats the city airports outright. LaGuardia (LGA) is the fallback at ~35 minutes; skip JFK and Newark.

Where should you stay near IBM?

Stay in downtown White Plains near IBM — it's the county's hotel hub, a few minutes from the Purchase and Armonk campuses, with its own small airport (HPN) close by. Don't base in Manhattan for a Westchester visit; that's a 45-minute-plus commute each way.

What should you check before booking?
