Conference Hotels in Scottsdale

Start with the size of the largest event space and how many people it can hold. The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, for example, offers a largest event space of about 30,000 square feet that holds up to 3,601 people, while the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has a largest space of about 23,000 square feet for up to 2,990 people. Also compare the number of event spaces available (for breakouts or concurrent sessions), total guest-room count, and whether on-site amenities like catering and AV are available.

Look for properties with substantial meeting space, enough guest rooms to house attendees, and multiple event spaces if you need breakouts. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort has a largest event space of about 11,000 square feet with capacity for up to 1,400 people, along with 78 event spaces and 312 guest rooms. Properties with on-site catering, AV options, and flexible layouts can simplify logistics, though amenities vary by hotel.

Engine offers consolidated invoicing so you receive one bill for all guest rooms instead of managing individual reservations. You can choose from multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This setup simplifies expense tracking and reconciliation for your finance team.

If your group needs 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For stays of 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve on the platform. If you also need meeting or event space, you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces, which connects you to thousands of venues where you can submit requests directly.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the airport serving the region, is about 20 minutes from downtown Scottsdale. Ground transportation options include rental cars, ride-shares, and shuttles. Many of these hotels are located in the resort corridor north of downtown, so confirm shuttle availability or plan for transfers when coordinating attendee arrivals.
