Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference in Palm Springs?
For a large meeting or corporate event, start your search at least three to six months out, especially if you need a room block during the busy winter and spring season. If your group needs nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for eight rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve on Engine. Booking early gives you more choice across the properties and better availability for your preferred dates.
What should I compare when choosing conference hotels in Palm Springs?
Focus on the size and number of event spaces, guest-room count, and on-site amenities. For example, the Riviera Resort Palm Springs offers a largest event space of about 20,000 square feet and 398 guest rooms, while Hotel Zoso has a largest space of about 9,500 square feet and 163 rooms. Also check location, parking, dining options, and how the property's layout fits your agenda.
What amenities can conference attendees expect at these hotels?
Most properties on this list offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by hotel. Some also have fitness centers, pools, and business services. Check each property's profile on Engine to confirm which amenities are included and whether any carry a separate fee.
How does billing work when I book a large room block for an event?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage your group's stay under one bill rather than tracking individual reservations. You also get multiple payment options and access to pre-negotiated rates, with no membership fee. This simplifies accounting and gives your finance team a single record for the entire booking.
What makes a hotel a good fit for hosting a large meeting?
Look for ample meeting space, enough guest rooms to accommodate your attendees, and on-site facilities like catering and AV support (which vary by property). The Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel, for instance, has a largest event space of about 13,000 square feet and 410 rooms. You can also find and request meeting and event space through Engine Spaces, Engine's venue product, to compare options and submit requests for the space you need.
