Where to Stay When Visiting Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston)

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

Vertex Pharmaceuticals's headquarters is in Boston. 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 Vertex Pharmaceuticals's HQ in Boston (50 Northern Ave): stay in the the Seaport / Financial District area near the office. Stay in the Seaport or Financial District near Vertex Pharmaceuticals — the hotels here are walkable to the office and a Silver Line ride from Logan. This is a stay-central, skip-the-car trip. Boston Logan (BOS) is the airport — and from the Seaport it's about 10 minutes, one of the shortest airport runs of any US business district. The Silver Line bus-rapid-transit runs from Logan straight into the Seaport for a couple of dollars. Manchester, NH (MHT) and Providence, RI (PVD) are distant, cheaper alternatives.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company (cystic-fibrosis and other therapies), headquartered at 50 Northern Ave, Boston, MA 02210. That's the Seaport and the adjacent Financial District — Boston's booming waterfront innovation district (Vertex, PTC, Fidelity) beside the old financial core (State Street, Iron Mountain), a mile apart and both minutes from Logan.
