Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.

What does the milky way galaxy orbit and how long does it take?

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.
