Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference in Richmond?
For a large conference or corporate event, start booking as soon as you've confirmed your dates and expected attendee count. Properties with significant meeting space, like the Richmond Marriott or The Jefferson Hotel, can fill up months ahead during peak seasons. Reaching out early gives you better room availability and rate options.
How does billing work when booking multiple rooms for a corporate event?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage payment for your entire group in one place rather than coordinating individual traveler bills. You'll have multiple payment options and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This makes reconciliation straightforward for finance teams handling large bookings.
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 9 or more rooms, and you can book self-serve if you need 8 or fewer. For the meeting or event space itself, Engine Spaces lets you find and request venues across Richmond, so you can source both the accommodations and the space through Engine.
What should I look for in a hotel when planning a large meeting?
Focus on total event square footage, the number of meeting rooms, and the guest-room count to ensure the property can comfortably handle your group. For example, The Jefferson Hotel offers about 26,000 square feet of event space and 19 meeting rooms. On-site amenities like AV capabilities and catering vary by property, so confirm those details during your request.
What should I compare across conference hotels in Richmond when deciding where to host?
Start with event space capacity and layout to match your agenda, then compare guest-room availability and rates for your dates. Look at location relative to the airport or your attendees' points of origin, and ask each property about their setup options, catering, and technical support. These hotels offer a range of configurations, so prioritize what matters most for your event format.
