Conference Hotels in Akron

Start with the size of the largest event space and how many people it holds. For example, Hilton Garden Inn Akron offers a largest event space of about 3,800 square feet (The East End Ballroom) that accommodates up to 375 people, while Spark by Hilton Akron Fairlawn has a largest space of about 2,700 square feet (Grand ballroom) for up to 295 people. You'll also want to check the number of event spaces available if you need breakout rooms, and confirm the guest-room count matches your block size.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Akron Regional Airport Area by IHG is located near the airport serving Akron, with a largest event space of about 2,200 square feet (Meeting Room ABC) that holds up to 120 people and 7 event spaces total. It has 91 guest rooms, which works well for smaller groups flying in. Travelers can search and book this property and other options on Engine.

For a stay of 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking, and you should reach out as early as possible to secure availability and rates. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve on Engine. Booking several months in advance gives you the best selection, especially if your event coincides with other activity in the area.

Amenities vary by property, but most conference hotels offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining options. Some properties also provide business centers and fitness facilities. It's a good idea to confirm specific amenities directly with the hotel when you're planning your event, and planners can find and request meeting space through Engine Spaces to review venue details.

Engine offers consolidated invoicing and multiple payment options, so you can manage costs across your entire group in one place. There's no membership fee to use the platform. For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking and invoicing, making it easier to track expenses and reconcile after your event.
