Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when choosing a hotel for a large meeting in Nashville?
Start with the square footage and number of meeting rooms the property offers. Hotels like the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, with about 759,000 square feet of event space, can accommodate large conferences, while the Renaissance Nashville Hotel offers about 103,000 square feet across 38 meeting rooms for mid-sized gatherings. On-site facilities like AV, catering, and flexible setup vary by property, so confirm those details when you request the space.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees through Engine?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking and offers consolidated invoicing and multiple payment options. For eight rooms or fewer, you can search, compare, and book the hotels on this list yourself through Engine's platform with no membership fee.
Are any of these properties close to the airport serving Nashville?
The airport serving Nashville is a short drive from downtown and the neighborhoods where many of these hotels are located. If your group is flying in for a conference, you can filter by proximity to the airport or to your event venue when you search on Engine. For the meeting or event space itself, planners can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces.
How far ahead should I book hotel rooms for a corporate event in Nashville?
For a large conference, start securing guest rooms as soon as your event dates and venue are confirmed, ideally several months out. Properties with significant meeting capacity, like those on this list, can fill up during busy seasons. Booking early also gives your team more time to coordinate travel and lock in pre-negotiated rates through Engine.
What should I compare across conference hotels in Nashville when planning where to host?
Compare the total event square footage, the number and size of individual meeting rooms, and how many guest rooms the property has. The Loews Nashville Hotel at Vanderbilt Plaza, for example, offers about 24,000 square feet of event space and 16 meeting rooms, which may suit a focused corporate meeting, while the Gaylord Opryland's scale fits much larger gatherings. Also consider location, on-site dining, and whether the property can accommodate your group's room block and meeting needs under one roof.
