Conference Hotels in New York City

For a large meeting or corporate event in New York City, start booking guest rooms at least three to six months ahead, especially if your dates fall during busy seasons or overlap with other events in the city. If you need a room block of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups can handle the booking process for you. For smaller stays of 8 rooms or fewer, you can book directly through Engine's platform.

Look at the total event square footage and the number of meeting rooms each property offers. For example, the New York Marriott Marquis has about 125,000 square feet of event space and 48 meeting rooms, while the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel offers about 36,000 square feet and 33 meeting rooms. Also compare location, guest-room availability, and whether the layout fits your event's needs.

Most properties on this list offer on-site dining, wifi, and fitness centers, though specific amenities vary by hotel. Some also provide parking, business centers, and grab-and-go breakfast options. Check the details on Engine when you search to confirm what's available at each property.

Most attendees fly into the airports serving New York City and take a taxi, shuttle, or train into Manhattan, where many of the largest conference properties are located. If your group prefers to stay closer to an airport, Engine's search lets you filter by location. Keep in mind that the hotels with the most meeting space tend to be in Midtown and Times Square.

For guest rooms, if you need 9 or more, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking; for 8 or fewer, you book self-serve on the platform. For the meeting or event space itself, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, Engine's product for sourcing meeting and event space across thousands of properties. Engine helps you coordinate both sides, with consolidated invoicing and pre-negotiated rates on the lodging.
