Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when comparing large meeting venues across different Connecticut cities?

Start with the size of the largest event space and its capacity. For example, the Mystic Marriott Hotel and Spa in Mystic offers a largest event space of about 10,000 square feet that holds up to 1,200 people, while the Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich has a largest space of about 9,600 square feet with capacity for up to 1,000 people. Also compare the number of breakout rooms (these hotels have between 28 and 35 event spaces), guest-room count for overnight attendees, and location relative to your attendees' travel plans.

How do I book a guest-room block for conference attendees in Connecticut?

If you need 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve directly through Engine. Both options give you access to pre-negotiated rates and consolidated invoicing with no membership fee.

What amenities can I typically expect at these hotels?

Most properties offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by hotel. Amenities like audiovisual equipment, catering services, and breakfast options depend on the individual property. It's worth confirming what's included when you request space or book your rooms.

Which areas of Connecticut have the most options for hosting a big event?

Coastal communities like Stamford, Old Greenwich, and Mystic tend to have properties with substantial meeting and event space. These areas are near major highways and rail lines, making them accessible for attendees traveling from New York, Boston, or other New England cities. The mix of waterfront settings and proximity to regional airports also makes these locations convenient for overnight conferences.

Can Engine help with both guest rooms and meeting space for my conference?

Yes. For guest rooms, Engine Groups handles blocks of 9 or more rooms, and you can book 8 or fewer self-serve. For the meeting or event space itself, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, Engine's meeting-and-event product with access to a large inventory of venues. Engine Spaces lets you source the right space, while the property handles setup, catering, and audiovisual.
