Frequently asked questions

How do I book a block of guest rooms in Tempe for conference attendees?
If you need nine or more 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. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates, consolidated invoicing, and multiple payment options with no membership fee.
What amenities can conference travelers expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by hotel. Amenities like AV equipment, catering, and breakfast options depend on the property and your event requirements. You can review each hotel's details on Engine to confirm what's available.
What's the best way to get to Tempe for a corporate event?
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the airport serving the metro area, is about a fifteen-minute drive from Tempe. Most hotels offer shuttle services or are easily accessible by rental car or rideshare. Staying in Tempe puts you close to Arizona State University and the downtown area.
What makes a hotel a good fit for a large meeting or conference?
Look for a property with enough meeting space to accommodate your group, a sufficient number of guest rooms, and on-site facilities like dining and parking. For example, Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes has 353 guest rooms, 30 event spaces, and its largest event space runs about 10,000 square feet with capacity for up to 900 people. The right mix depends on your group size and event format.
What should I compare when choosing where to host my conference in Tempe?
Compare each hotel's largest event space, total number of meeting rooms, and guest-room count to match your attendance and breakout needs. For instance, Home2 Suites by Hilton Phoenix Tempe has 108 guest rooms, 11 event spaces, and a largest space of about 3,800 square feet holding up to 373 people. You can find and request meeting and event space through Engine Spaces, Engine's venue product, to source the right fit for your event.
