Frequently asked questions

How does Engine help me book both guest rooms and meeting space for a Santa Fe conference?
Engine handles both sides of your event. For guest rooms, if you need nine or more, Engine Groups manages the room block; for eight or fewer, you can book self-serve. To find and request meeting or event space, use Engine Spaces, which connects planners to venues across Santa Fe and beyond.
What amenities can I expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer on-site parking, wifi, and dining options that make it easier for attendees to stay productive and comfortable. Specifics like audiovisual equipment, catering menus, and room setup vary by hotel. Check each property's details when you search to confirm what's included.
What should I compare when choosing a hotel for a large meeting?
Start with the size of the largest event space and total number of meeting rooms. The Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder's largest space runs about 16,000 square feet and can hold up to 3,000 people, while the Eldorado Hotel & Spa offers a largest space of about 7,000 square feet across 22 event spaces. Also weigh guest-room count, location, and whether the property can accommodate your attendees comfortably.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees?
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 self-serve on Engine. Both options give you access to pre-negotiated rates, consolidated invoicing, and no membership fee.
How far ahead should I reserve hotel rooms when planning a corporate event?
For a conference or large meeting, aim to book guest rooms at least three to six months in advance, especially during peak seasons or when Santa Fe hosts other events. Booking early gives your attendees more room choices and often better rates. Engine Spaces also lets you request meeting space well ahead of your dates.
