Frequently asked questions
How do I book a block of rooms for my team's offsite in Houston?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can search and book the rooms yourself directly on Engine. Either way, you'll see consolidated invoicing and pre-negotiated rates with no membership fee.
Can Engine help with both the hotel rooms and the meeting space for our company retreat?
Yes. For the guest-room block, Engine Groups handles stays of nine or more rooms, and you can book eight or fewer yourself. For the meeting or event space, you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces, Engine's meeting-and-event venue product with access to thousands of spaces across the country.
What amenities should we expect at these hotels for our retreat?
Most properties offer parking, wifi, on-site dining, and fitness facilities, though the specifics vary by hotel. Amenities like AV equipment, catering, breakout rooms, and team-building space also vary, so confirm what each property provides when you book. The hotels on this list all have meeting rooms and event square footage to support your offsite agenda.
How do I choose the right hotel size for my offsite?
Start with your headcount and your agenda. If you need several breakout sessions or workshops, look for properties with a higher meeting-room count, like the Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown with 42 meeting rooms and about 71,000 square feet of event space. If you're hosting a larger all-hands or general session, a hotel with more total event square footage, like the Hilton Americas-Houston at about 117,000 square feet, may be the better fit.
What's the easiest way to get the team to Houston for the offsite?
Most teams fly into the airport serving Houston, which is about 20 miles north of downtown. From there, you can arrange ground transportation to your hotel or choose a property near the airport if you want to minimize travel time. Many of the hotels on this list are in or near downtown, with easy access to the airport and the rest of the city.
