Frequently asked questions

How does Engine help when I'm planning a big meeting in Louisiana?

Engine helps with both the guest rooms and the meeting space. For the guest rooms, travelers can book self-serve if you need 8 or fewer rooms; for 9 or more, Engine Groups handles the room block. To find and request the meeting or event space itself, you can use Engine Spaces, which connects you to venues across Louisiana.

What should I look for in conference hotels in Louisiana?

Look for hotels with a largest event space large enough for your group, plus enough guest rooms to house attendees. For example, the New Orleans Marriott offers a largest event space of about 27,000 square feet (the Grand Ballroom, holding up to 3,100 people) and 1333 guest rooms, while the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel has a largest space of about 23,000 square feet (the Napoleon Ballroom) and 1110 rooms. On-site amenities like catering and AV vary by property, so confirm those details when you request the space.

How far ahead should I book rooms for a corporate event?

For a large conference, start looking at least six months out, especially if your event falls during peak travel season or coincides with other events in the city. Booking early gives you better access to room blocks and meeting space. Engine lets you compare hotels and lock in pre-negotiated rates once you know your dates.

What's the process for reserving a block of rooms for conference attendees?

If you need 8 guest rooms or fewer, you can book them yourself directly on Engine. For 9 rooms or more, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. Either way, Engine offers consolidated invoicing and multiple payment options with no membership fee.
