Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book a large hotel in New York for a group event?
For a group needing 9 or more rooms, start looking at least 60 to 90 days out, especially in New York City where demand is high year-round. Engine Groups handles bookings of that size and can help you compare availability across properties like the New York Marriott Marquis (1966 rooms) or the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel (1780 rooms). If you're booking 8 rooms or fewer, you can search and book self-serve on the platform with more flexibility on timing.
Why choose one of the biggest hotels in New York for a company-wide event?
A hotel with more than 1000 rooms gives you the capacity to house many attendees under one roof, which simplifies logistics and keeps everyone close to meeting areas. Properties like the Hyatt Grand Central New York (1298 rooms) often have meeting and event space on-site, though offerings vary by property. Consolidated invoicing through Engine also makes billing easier when you have dozens of room nights to track.
What room count makes a hotel one of the biggest in New York?
The largest hotels you can book through Engine in New York range from around 1200 to nearly 2000 rooms. The New York Marriott Marquis leads the list at 1966 rooms, followed by the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel at 1780 rooms. Hotels at this scale can accommodate large groups, back-to-back arrivals, and multiple events at once.
Which cities in New York have the most large hotels?
New York City has the highest concentration of large hotels in the state, including all three of the biggest properties you can book through Engine. Outside the city, you'll find mid-sized options in places like Buffalo, Albany, and near the airport serving Syracuse, but room counts drop off significantly. If your group needs more than 1000 rooms in one property, New York City is where you'll find them.
Are the biggest hotels in New York only for groups, or can individual business travelers book them too?
Any business traveler can book a room at properties like the New York Marriott Marquis or Hyatt Grand Central New York through Engine's platform. Larger hotels often mean more amenities, flexible check-in times, and proximity to transit and business districts. You get the same pre-negotiated rates whether you're booking one room or coordinating travel for an entire team.
