Delta Hotels by Marriott Chesapeake Norfolk leads the list with its largest event space running about 7,200 square feet, a capacity of up to 800 people, and 13 event spaces across 228 guest rooms. Event planners, travel managers, and attendees booking their own rooms can all use Engine to find the right fit for large meetings and corporate gatherings.

Chesapeake sits near the airport serving the Hampton Roads region and the Port of Virginia, drawing corporate meetings, training sessions, and events across industries.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a hotel in Chesapeake suitable for hosting a corporate event or large meeting?
Look for properties with enough meeting space to accommodate your group and sufficient guest rooms for overnight attendees. The Delta Hotels by Marriott Chesapeake Norfolk, for example, offers a largest event space of about 7,200 square feet (the Grand Ballroom, which holds up to 800 people), 13 event spaces total, and 228 guest rooms. On-site amenities like catering and AV vary by property, so confirm what's included when you reach out.
How do attendees typically get to Chesapeake for a conference?
Most fly into Norfolk International Airport, the airport serving the Hampton Roads region, which is about a 15-minute drive from hotels in Chesapeake. Ground transportation options include rental cars, ride-shares, and shuttles. Some properties may offer airport shuttle service, so it's worth asking when you book.
How does billing work when I book rooms for a large conference through Engine?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage payments in one place rather than reconciling individual traveler receipts. You'll have multiple payment options available, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This makes it easier to track spending and stay on budget for your event.
What's the process for booking a room block for conference attendees?
If you need 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For stays of 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve directly on the platform. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates and can coordinate arrivals and departures to match your event schedule.
What should I compare when choosing between these hotels for my meeting?
Start with the size and layout of the largest event space and how many meeting rooms the property offers overall. The Hilton Garden Inn Chesapeake/Greenbrier has a largest space of about 2,500 square feet (the Lakeview Ballroom, up to 200 people), while the Homewood Suites by Hilton Chesapeake-Greenbrier offers a largest space of about 1,100 square feet and 8 event spaces for breakouts. You can search and compare these hotels on Engine, and if you need help sourcing meeting or event space, Engine Spaces lets you find and request venues that match your requirements.
