Where to Stay When Visiting PepsiCo (Purchase)

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

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

Direct answer: Visiting PepsiCo's Purchase HQ (700 Anderson Hill Rd): stay in the White Plains area near the office. Stay in downtown White Plains near PepsiCo — 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. 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.

PepsiCo is a food and beverage company (Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Quaker, Gatorade, Tropicana), headquartered at 700 Anderson Hill Rd, Purchase, NY 10577. 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.
