Team Offsite Hotels in San Diego

Engine handles both pieces. For the guest rooms, if you need nine or more rooms, Engine Groups takes care of the room block; for eight or fewer, you book those yourself through the platform. For the meeting or event space, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, which gives you access to thousands of options across the city.

Start with the meeting and breakout space each property offers. The hotels on this list vary widely: Town and Country San Diego has about 200,000 square feet of event space and 25 meeting rooms, while Rancho Bernardo Inn offers about 40,000 square feet with 25 meeting rooms. Guest room count matters too, as does proximity to what your team wants to do outside of sessions.

You need enough meeting rooms for your agenda and breakout sessions, plus enough guest rooms to house everyone comfortably. On-site facilities like dining, outdoor space, and AV capabilities vary by property, so confirm those details directly with the hotel. The right fit depends on your group size and how you plan to structure your time together.

Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you're not juggling separate charges for each room. You have multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. That makes it simpler to manage the budget and get reimbursed.

It depends on your agenda. If your team is flying in and you want to minimize transit time, properties near the airport serving San Diego can make arrivals and departures easier. If you want the group to explore the city or access specific neighborhoods, you might choose a location farther in. Engine lets you compare hotels across the area so you can pick what works best for your plan.
