Where to Stay When Visiting Vanguard (Malvern)
Vanguard's headquarters is in Malvern. Center City rides SEPTA; the suburban office belt needs a car. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.
The Vanguard Group is an investment-management and mutual-fund company, headquartered at 100 Vanguard Blvd, Malvern, PA 19355. That's Malvern and the Great Valley Corporate Center in Chester County — a spread-out corporate corridor west of the city, home to Vanguard's 87-acre global headquarters, about 30 minutes from PHL.
“Vanguard's 87-acre campus is in Malvern's Great Valley. Stay at the Desmond or a Great Valley hotel minutes away and keep a car.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
Philadelphia International (PHL) is about 30 minutes southeast of Malvern. One airport, and Vanguard's campus in the Great Valley is car country — SEPTA's regional rail reaches Malvern, but the campus isn't a walk from the station, so plan on a car.
