Frequently asked questions

How does Engine help when I'm planning a conference in Franklin?
Engine covers both sides of the booking. For the guest rooms, you can book self-serve on Engine if you need eight rooms or fewer; for nine or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room block. For the meeting or event space itself, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, which gives you access to thousands of options across the country.
How far ahead should I book hotel rooms for a large meeting in Franklin?
Start as early as you can, especially if your event falls during peak season or a popular week. Booking several months out gives you better availability and often better rates. For very large groups, six months or more is ideal.
What airport do people fly into for a conference in Franklin?
Nashville International Airport serves Franklin and is about twenty miles north of the city. Most attendees rent a car or arrange a shuttle. The drive takes around thirty minutes depending on traffic.
What amenities can I expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by hotel. Some include breakfast or have a restaurant and bar. It's worth confirming directly with the property what's included and what costs extra.
What should I look for in a hotel for a big event?
Focus on the amount of meeting space, the number of event rooms, and the guest-room count. A hotel like the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs, with a largest event space of about 14,000 square feet and capacity for up to 1,900 people across 29 event spaces, can handle very large groups. Smaller gatherings might fit comfortably at a property with fewer but still flexible spaces.
