Same order as the list above. Room counts and the breakfast, parking, and shuttle marks come from each hotel's own listing data. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions
How does a group rate work when booking hotels in Chicago?
When you book 9 or more rooms for the same dates, the hotel quotes a rate for the entire block instead of charging the public rate per room. This group rate applies to all the rooms in your block. The hotel holds the rooms until a cutoff date, giving you time to assign travelers to specific rooms.
What counts as a group hotel booking in Chicago?
A group booking is 9 or more rooms reserved for the same dates. Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for stays of that size. If you need 8 rooms or fewer, you can book them yourself directly on Engine without submitting a group request.
How does billing work for a group stay booked through Engine?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage payment for the entire group in one place. You have multiple payment options, and there is no membership fee to use Engine or Engine Groups.
How do I request group rates from hotels in Chicago through Engine Groups?
Submit your request with your travel dates and the number of rooms you need. Engine Groups handles the room-block booking with the hotel. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book directly on Engine without a group request.
Can these Chicago hotels accommodate a group of 9 or more rooms?
The hotels on this list have the room count to handle group bookings, and groups have booked them through Engine before. Hotels like The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop, The Godfrey Hotel Chicago, and The Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago appear near the top because they have handled group stays. You should still confirm availability for your specific dates.
