How Group Hotel Rates Work in Des Moines

Finding a hotel in Des Moines that can accommodate a block of 9 or more rooms for the same dates means comparing properties that handle group stays regularly. This list includes hotels suited to group hotel booking in Des Moines, ordered by how often groups have booked each one through Engine and then by room count. For 9 or more rooms, you can request a group quote through Engine Groups.

When your organization books 9 or more rooms for the same dates in Des Moines, a hotel quotes a rate for the block instead of its public rate. The block holds the rooms for your group until a cutoff date, then travelers are assigned to their rooms. You can search, compare, and book these hotels on Engine. For 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking; 8 or fewer rooms is self-serve, and Engine offers consolidated invoicing, pre-negotiated rates, multiple payment options, and no membership fee. The list includes Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown with 234 rooms and Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel with 209 rooms, both of which have handled group stays before.

Why no public rates?

Hotel partners contractually require business-email verification before showing the negotiated B2B rate. Hotel partners offer Engine exclusive business-traveler rates that aren't available to the public.

Same order as the list above. Room counts and the breakfast, parking, and shuttle marks come from each hotel's own listing data. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

Can these Des Moines hotels accommodate a group of 9 or more rooms?
The hotels on this list have the room count to handle group stays and have booked blocks through Engine before. Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown has 234 rooms, Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel has 209 rooms, and Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown has 127 rooms. Confirm availability for your specific dates when you submit your request.
How does a room block work when booking hotels in Des Moines?
A room block holds the rooms your group needs until a cutoff date set by the hotel. Before that cutoff, travelers on your team are assigned to individual rooms in the block. After the cutoff passes, any unassigned rooms are released back to the hotel, so it matters that your group finalizes who is traveling before that date.
How does billing work for a group stay booked through Engine?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can see charges for the entire group in one place. You have multiple payment options, and there is no membership fee to use the platform.
What counts as group hotel booking in Des Moines, and what if I need fewer rooms?
A group booking is 9 or more rooms reserved for the same dates. For 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. If you need 8 rooms or fewer, you can book those yourself on Engine.
How do I request group rates from hotels in Des Moines?
Submit your request through Engine Groups with your travel dates and the number of rooms you need. Engine Groups handles the room-block booking with the hotel.
