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 booking rooms for a large meeting in Missouri?

Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you'll see a single invoice rather than separate charges from each property. You can choose from multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This makes it easier to track expenses and reconcile budgets when coordinating a multi-room stay for your event.

What amenities can conference attendees expect at these properties?

Most hotels on this list offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by property. Some also provide business centers, fitness facilities, and flexible check-in options. It's worth confirming with each hotel which amenities are included and whether any carry an additional cost.

How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference?

For a large event, plan to secure your room block at least three to six months ahead, especially during busy travel periods. Booking early gives you better availability and often better rates. If your event is smaller or during a slower season, a couple of months' lead time may suffice.

What should I compare when choosing conference hotels in Missouri across different cities?

Look at the size and layout of each hotel's largest event space, the total number of meeting rooms, and how many guest rooms are on-site. Consider proximity to the airport serving each city and whether attendees need easy access to dining or entertainment nearby. Also compare guest-room rates and any differences in parking or catering arrangements, since these vary by property and location.

Which parts of Missouri have the most options for large meetings and events?

The St. Louis and Kansas City metro areas tend to have the widest selection of properties with significant meeting space and guest-room capacity. Springfield and the Lake of the Ozarks region also offer hotels designed for conferences, with venues like the University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield (largest event space about 45,000 square feet, up to 5,000 people) and Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks (largest event space about 30,000 square feet, up to 3,500 people). These properties sit in different cities, so consider which location works best for your attendees' travel plans.
