Holiday Inn Sioux Falls-City Centre by IHG leads the biggest hotels you can book in South Dakota through Engine, with 290 rooms. Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Rapid City (267 rooms) and Sheraton Sioux Falls Hotel & Convention Center (243 rooms) follow. These properties give teams the room count they need for conferences, group trips, and events, and they serve organizations of every size and industry across the state.

Conferences, corporate events, and group travel are common reasons a company needs a hotel with a large number of rooms in one place, and South Dakota's biggest hotels are split between its two largest cities, Sioux Falls and Rapid City. Each city supports its own base of business and convention activity that keeps demand for room blocks steady. These hotels serve organizations of every size and industry booking rooms for a meeting, training, or team trip. Engine lists these properties alongside the rest of the state's inventory, and Engine Groups handles bookings of 9 or more rooms, with self-serve booking available for 8 rooms or fewer.
