Frequently asked questions

How do I book a block of guest rooms for conference attendees in Boone?
If you need 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can search, compare, and book directly through Engine's self-serve platform. Both options offer consolidated invoicing and pre-negotiated rates with no membership fee.
What makes a hotel a good fit for hosting a large meeting in Boone?
Look for hotels with ample meeting space and enough guest rooms to accommodate your group. The Art of Living Retreat Center, for example, has a largest event space of about 18,000 square feet (The Main Hall) that holds up to 1,750 people, with 31 guest rooms on-site. Properties with multiple event spaces and on-site amenities like catering and AV can also simplify planning.
What should I compare when choosing where to host my conference?
Start by comparing each hotel's largest event space and total number of meeting rooms to ensure they fit your agenda. Check guest-room counts to confirm the property can house your attendees comfortably. Also review location, parking availability, on-site dining, and whether the hotel supports the meeting technology and setup your event requires.
How do attendees get to Boone for a corporate event?
The airport serving Boone is Tri-Cities Airport (TRI) in Tennessee, about 75 miles away. Attendees can rent a car or arrange ground transportation for the drive into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Booking hotels with parking makes it easier for those flying in or driving directly to your event.
What amenities can conference travelers expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer free parking, wifi, and on-site dining or breakfast, though specifics vary by hotel. Many also provide AV support, catering, and flexible meeting setups. If you need meeting or event space beyond the guest-room block, you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces, Engine's platform for sourcing event venues across thousands of properties.
