Hosting a Conference or Event in Orlando

Orlando hosts thousands of conferences and corporate events each year, and Engine's inventory of conference hotels in Orlando includes properties with extensive meeting and event space. The Hyatt Regency Orlando, with about 315,000 square feet of event space, is among the top on the list you can book through Engine. This page serves event planners, travel managers, and attendees booking their own rooms for conferences, large meetings, and corporate gatherings.

Orlando hosts conferences and corporate events year-round, from trade shows at the convention center to company meetings at resort properties across the metro area. The hotels on this list serve organizations of every size and industry, whether you're bringing a team to attend an event or hosting one yourself. You can search, compare, and book guest rooms at these properties on Engine (for a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking; for 8 or fewer, you book self-serve). If you need meeting or event space, Engine Spaces lets you find and request venues across the area, so you can source both the guest rooms and the space through Engine.

Frequently asked questions

How do I book a block of hotel rooms for conference attendees in Orlando?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can search, compare, and book the rooms yourself through Engine's platform. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates and consolidated invoicing.
What should I compare when choosing where to host a large meeting in Orlando?
Start with the amount of event space and the number of meeting rooms each property offers. The Hyatt Regency Orlando has about 315,000 square feet of event space, while the Caribe Royale Orlando offers about 260,000 square feet with 58 meeting rooms. Also consider the total guest-room count and on-site facilities, and confirm with the property what amenities like AV, catering, and breakfast are included.
How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference?
For a large conference, start booking guest rooms as soon as your dates and expected attendance are confirmed, ideally several months out. Popular properties with significant event space fill quickly, especially during peak conference season. Booking early gives you better room availability and often better rates.
Can Engine help with both the guest rooms and the meeting space for my event?
Yes. For the guest-room block, Engine Groups handles bookings of nine or more rooms, and you can book eight or fewer yourself through the platform. For the meeting or event space, you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces, which gives you access to thousands of meeting and event venues. Engine helps you source both sides of your conference in one place.
What makes a hotel a good fit for a conference or corporate event?
Look for properties with ample meeting space, a high guest-room count, and on-site facilities that support your agenda. The Hilton Orlando, for example, offers about 249,000 square feet of event space, giving planners flexibility for breakout sessions, ballrooms, and general sessions. A property that can accommodate both your attendees and your meeting needs under one roof simplifies logistics.
