Frequently asked questions

How do I get my team to Philadelphia for a big event?
Philadelphia is served by Philadelphia International Airport, about 7 miles southwest of downtown. Many of the hotels on this list offer airport shuttles or are a short drive from the terminal. If your group is flying in for a conference, you can coordinate ground transport or book properties near the airport to simplify arrival and departure.
How does billing work when I book a large room block for a conference?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can see all your conference bookings in one place. You also get multiple payment options and there's no membership fee. That makes it straightforward to manage costs when you're coordinating rooms for a big meeting or corporate event.
What amenities can conference attendees expect at these hotels?
Amenities vary by property, but most offer on-site parking, wifi, and dining options. Some properties include business centers, fitness facilities, and flexible catering for events. Check each hotel's listing on Engine to confirm what's available for your group.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees?
For a stay of 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve directly on Engine. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates and streamlined invoicing.
What should I compare when choosing conference hotels in Philadelphia?
Start with the size of each hotel's largest event space and how many people it holds. The Valley Forge Casino Resort's largest space runs about 54,000 square feet and accommodates up to 3,700 people, while the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown offers a largest space of about 20,000 square feet for up to 2,000 people. Also compare the number of event spaces, guest-room counts, and location relative to where your attendees are coming from. You can find and request meeting space through Engine Spaces to see what fits your agenda.
