Frequently asked questions

How do I book a block of guest rooms in Clearwater for conference attendees?
For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve directly through Engine. Both options give you access to the same inventory of hotels with pre-negotiated rates.
What airport should I fly into for a conference in Clearwater?
The airport serving Clearwater is Tampa International Airport, about 20 minutes from downtown. Many of the hotels on this list offer shuttle services or are a short drive from the airport, making it convenient for out-of-town attendees. When comparing properties, check proximity to the airport if your group is flying in.
How does billing work when I book multiple rooms for a large meeting?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage all your bookings in one place. You also have multiple payment options and there's no membership fee to use the platform.
What should I compare when choosing among these hotels for my event?
Start with the size of the largest event space and how many people it can hold. For example, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Clearwater/Us 19 N by IHG has a largest event space of about 5,600 square feet that holds up to 350 people, while Courtyard St. Petersburg Clearwater's largest space runs about 635 square feet for up to 40 people. Also compare the number of event spaces (useful for breakout sessions) and total guest rooms to ensure the property can accommodate your attendees.
What makes a hotel a good fit for hosting a conference?
Look for a property with adequate meeting space for your largest session and enough guest rooms to house attendees. The number of event spaces matters if you need breakout rooms or concurrent sessions. You can search and compare these hotels on Engine, and if you need help finding meeting or event space, Engine Spaces lets you request venues across a large network.
