Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference?
For a large conference, start booking guest rooms at least three to six months ahead, especially if you need a sizable block or plan to meet during peak season. Properties like the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville (2888 rooms) or the Marriott Marquis Chicago (1205 rooms) can accommodate big groups, but availability tightens as the date nears. Locking in early gives your attendees more choice and often better rates.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees?
On Engine, booking depends on the size of your group. For eight rooms or fewer, you book self-serve directly through the platform. For nine or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room block, coordinating with the property and offering consolidated invoicing and flexible payment options.
Can Engine help with both guest rooms and meeting space for my event?
Yes. For the guest-room block, if you need nine or more rooms Engine Groups manages the booking; eight or fewer you handle self-serve. For the meeting or event space itself, Engine Spaces lets you find and request venues across the country, so you can source both the accommodations and the space through one platform.
What amenities can conference attendees expect at these hotels?
Most properties on this list offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary. Many also provide business centers, fitness facilities, and room service. Check each hotel's profile on Engine to confirm which amenities are available before you book.
What makes a hotel a good fit for a large conference or corporate event?
Look for ample meeting space, a high guest-room count, and on-site facilities that keep attendees on property. The Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, for example, has a largest event space of about 113,000 square feet (the Ryman Exhibit Hall B, holding up to 7,330 people) and 122 event spaces across 2888 rooms. The Marriott Marquis Chicago offers a largest space of about 100,000 square feet (the Skyline Ballroom at McCormick Place W375, up to 10,000 people) with 71 event spaces and 1205 rooms, while the ARIA Sky Suites in Las Vegas provides a largest space of about 52,000 square feet (Level 1, Bristlecone Ballroom, up to 5,100 people) and 139 event spaces in a 440-room tower.
