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 do I get to Long Beach for a large meeting or event?
Long Beach Airport is a quick option for regional arrivals, and the airport serving Los Angeles is nearby for broader connections. Many of these hotels offer shuttles or are a short drive from either terminal. Ground transport and rideshares are widely available throughout the area.
Can Engine help with both the guest rooms and the meeting space for my conference?
Yes. For guest rooms, Engine Groups handles blocks of 9 or more rooms, and you can book 8 or fewer yourself. For the meeting or event space, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, which connects you to thousands of options across the country.
How do I book a room block for conference attendees in Long Beach?
If you need 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups takes care of the block for you. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book directly through Engine's platform with pre-negotiated rates and consolidated invoicing.
What should I compare when choosing a conference hotel in Long Beach?
Look at the size of the largest event space, total number of meeting rooms, and guest-room count. For example, The Queen Mary offers its largest event space at about 18,000 square feet (The Exhibit Hall Level D), with capacity for up to 900 people and 34 event spaces across 250 guest rooms. The Hyatt Regency Long Beach has a largest space of about 10,000 square feet (Regency Ballroom), accommodates up to 1,500 people, and features 30 event spaces with 531 guest rooms.
How far ahead should I book hotel rooms for a conference?
For large events, start securing guest rooms as soon as your dates and attendance are firm, typically three to six months out, though popular dates may require more lead time. Booking early gives you better availability and helps lock in pre-negotiated rates across the properties on your list.
