Same order as the list above: ranked by a hotel's total event space across all its meeting rooms. The largest single room is shown here, so that column can run out of order. Space figures come from each hotel's meeting-space records. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

How does Engine help when I'm planning a large meeting in Virginia?

Engine supports both sides of the booking. For the guest rooms, you can book a room block through Engine Groups if you need nine or more rooms, or book self-serve if you need eight or fewer. For the meeting or event space itself, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, which gives you access to thousands of options across Virginia.

What's the process for booking a block of rooms for conference attendees?

If your group needs nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. For eight rooms or fewer, you book self-serve directly on the platform. Either way, you can search and compare hotels with the meeting capacity you need, then secure the rooms that work for your event.

How does billing work when I book rooms for a big event?

Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you're not managing separate receipts for each traveler or room. You also get multiple payment options and there's no membership fee to use the platform.

Which parts of Virginia have the most options for large meetings?

Hampton, Richmond, and Norfolk all offer hotels with substantial event space. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Hampton Convention Center has a largest event space of about 41,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 4,180 people, while the Richmond Marriott and Norfolk Waterside Marriott each feature ballrooms around 14,000 to 15,000 square feet with capacity for up to 2,000 people.

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 individual property, so it's worth confirming those details when you book your meeting space and guest rooms.
