Same order as the list above: ranked by a hotel's total event space across all its meeting rooms. The largest single room is shown here, so that column can run out of order. Space figures come from each hotel's meeting-space records. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

How does billing work when I book a large group of rooms for a conference in Kansas?

Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you get a single invoice for your entire group stay rather than juggling individual receipts. You can choose from multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for 8 or fewer, you book self-serve.

What should I compare when choosing between conference hotels in Kansas?

Start with the size and layout of each property's largest event space, along with how many total meeting rooms it offers. For example, the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel at the Convention Center has a largest event space running about 29,000 square feet and 21 event spaces total, while The Oread Lawrence offers a largest space of about 6,600 square feet with 22 event spaces. Also consider guest-room count, location relative to your attendees, and proximity to the airport serving the city where you're hosting.

What amenities can attendees expect at these properties?

Most hotels on this list offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by property. Details like AV equipment, catering options, and complimentary breakfast differ from one hotel to the next, so confirm what's included when you request space or book rooms. Engine lets you search and compare these hotels, and for meeting and event space you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces.

How far in advance should I book rooms for a big event?

For a large conference, aim to secure your room block at least three to six months out, especially if you're planning around peak travel seasons or popular dates. Booking early gives your attendees more options and can help lock in better rates. If you need 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for smaller groups of 8 or fewer, you can book self-serve on Engine.

Which parts of Kansas have the most options for hosting a large meeting?

The Overland Park area, in the Kansas City metro, tends to have the highest concentration of conference-ready properties, with hotels like the Sheraton Overland Park and the DoubleTree by Hilton offering extensive meeting space. Lawrence also has options such as The Oread, which features 22 event spaces and a largest room accommodating up to 750 people. You can search and compare all of these hotels on Engine, and use Engine Spaces to find and request meeting and event space across Kansas.
