Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in a hotel when planning a conference in Indianapolis?
The most important factors are meeting space, guest-room count, and on-site facilities. For example, the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn by IHG offers about 55,000 square feet of event space and 22 meeting rooms, while the Marriott Indianapolis Downtown has about 40,000 square feet. Properties with ballrooms, breakout rooms, and enough guest rooms to accommodate your attendees make logistics much easier.
How does billing work when I book a large block of rooms for an event?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing and multiple payment options, with no membership fee. For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for 8 rooms or fewer, you book self-serve. Either way, you get pre-negotiated rates and streamlined billing for your team.
Does Engine book the meeting space and the guest rooms together?
Engine handles the guest-room block, but the meeting space itself is arranged with the hotel directly. You can search and book the guest rooms through Engine, and then coordinate with the property for the conference rooms, AV, catering, and other event details.
How far ahead should I reserve rooms for a big meeting in Indianapolis?
For a large conference, it's smart to book guest rooms as soon as you've locked in your dates and venue. The earlier you reserve, the better your chances of securing a block at properties like the Marriott Indianapolis North, which has about 25,000 square feet of event space and 10 meeting rooms. Lead time also gives attendees more flexibility for travel planning.
What amenities do these hotels typically offer for business travelers?
Most properties on this list offer on-site parking, wifi, and dining options, though specifics vary by hotel. Many also have fitness centers and business services. When you book through Engine, you'll see the amenities listed for each property so you can compare what's available.
