Frequently asked questions

What makes a hotel a good fit for a large meeting or corporate event in Delaware?

Look for properties with substantial event space and enough guest rooms to accommodate your attendees. The DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Wilmington offers a largest event space of about 9,400 square feet that can hold up to 1,080 people, with 17 event spaces and 217 guest rooms. The Hotel Du Pont in Wilmington has a largest space of about 7,300 square feet with 28 event spaces, and the Embassy Suites in Newark features a largest space of about 3,300 square feet with 20 event spaces, both offering flexibility for breakout sessions and concurrent programming.

What amenities can conference attendees generally expect at these hotels?

Most conference hotels offer on-site parking, wifi, and on-site dining options like restaurants or breakfast service, though specifics vary by property. Many also provide business centers, fitness facilities, and room service for attendees staying on-site. Amenities like AV equipment, catering packages, and room setup are typically available through the property, but it's best to confirm directly what's included when you request your space.

How does Engine help with both the guest rooms and the meeting space for a conference?

For guest-room blocks, Engine Groups handles bookings of 9 or more rooms, while stays of 8 rooms or fewer are self-serve on the platform. For the meeting or event space itself, planners can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, Engine's meeting-and-event product that connects you with properties across Delaware. This lets you coordinate both sides of your event through one platform.

How does billing work when booking a multi-room conference block?

Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage payment for an entire room block in one place rather than handling multiple transactions. The platform supports multiple payment options and has no membership fee, making it straightforward for organizations of any size to book. This simplifies expense tracking and reconciliation for your finance team.

Which areas of Delaware have the most conference hotels?

Wilmington and Newark tend to have the most conference-ready properties, given their central locations and proximity to the airport serving the region. The Wilmington area offers hotels like the DoubleTree Downtown and the Hotel Du Pont, both with substantial meeting capacity, while Newark provides options like the Embassy Suites. These cities give planners convenient access for attendees traveling from the Mid-Atlantic corridor.
