Group hotel sourcing
Identifying hotels that can take your numbers, in the right area, with the facilities the group actually needs.
COP31 Antalya Accommodation for Delegations & Event Teams
We provide independent group accommodation support in Antalya for COP31: hotel sourcing, room blocks, delegation and agency coordination, staff accommodation, meeting-room requirements and transport integration.
Not “where should I stay?” but “how do I place forty people, keep them together, give them somewhere to meet, and move them to the venue every morning?” This is the operational side of accommodation.
What Group Accommodation Actually Involves
Placing a group is a coordination problem more than a booking problem. The hotel is roughly a third of the work.
Room blocks
Holding inventory as a block rather than as individual reservations that disappear one at a time.
Rooming lists and changes
Managing names, room types, arrival and departure variation, and the inevitable late changes.
Delegation planning
Keeping a delegation together, or deliberately splitting it by function, with the transport consequences understood.
Agency accommodation coordination
Working behind an agency that holds the client relationship, including white-label delivery.
Staff and crew accommodation
Different requirement, different rate point — crew working build days need proximity and early breakfast, not a sea view.
Meeting rooms
Securing meeting and briefing space within the hotel, which is frequently the harder half of the booking.
Transport integration
Choosing the hotel with the vehicle plan in mind rather than discovering the commute afterwards — see private transfers.
Hospitality coordination
Welcome desks, hosted breakfasts, delegation dinners and the hotel-side arrangements around them.
How This Differs from Choosing a Hotel
| Choosing where to stay | Placing a group | |
|---|---|---|
| Main question | Which hotel and which area? | How do we hold enough of the right rooms together? |
| Constraint | Preference and price | Block availability, meeting space and transport |
| Failure mode | A longer commute than expected | A split delegation, no meeting room and a doubled transport plan |
| Timing | Can be decided late | Needs to be held early, with names filled in later |

How We Work
Send the shape of the group
Numbers, dates, arrival pattern, room types, meeting requirements, budget guidance and how much they need to stay together. Names are not needed yet.
Options with the trade-offs stated
Two or three realistic options, with the commute, meeting space and transport implications of each set out rather than buried.
Hold the block
Inventory held while the group firms up, on terms we set out in writing.
Rooming list management
Names, room types, special requirements and changes handled as they come.
Integrate transport and hospitality
Vehicles, arrival handling and any hosted elements planned against the final hotel choice.
On-site support
A local contact during the conference for the accommodation-side problems that always appear.
Official Arrangements
There is an official COP31 accommodation platform, and complimentary shuttle stops are tied to the hotels listed on it. If official accommodation suits your group, that route should be pursued through the official COP31 channels, and we will say so. Independent sourcing is the better answer when you need blocks, meeting space, staff accommodation at a different rate point, or hotels the official list does not cover — and it means planning your own transport, which we would do alongside the rooms.
This page is part of the COP31 Antalya 2026 guide and services hub, covering dates, venue, participant information and local services.
Planning Context for COP31 Antalya
COP31 runs from 9 to 20 November 2026 at the Antalya EXPO Center. If you are still working out the dates, the venue or how participation works, start with the guides below.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you arrange accommodation for a COP31 delegation?
Yes — group hotel sourcing, room blocks, rooming-list management, delegation placement, staff accommodation, meeting rooms and integrated transport.
How is this different from your hotels page?
The hotels page answers where to stay. This page is about placing a group: holding blocks, securing meeting space, keeping people together and integrating transport.
Are you part of the official COP31 accommodation programme?
No. We provide independent sourcing. Official accommodation arrangements are handled through the official COP31 platform and channels, and we will point you there when that is the better route.
Can you hold rooms before we have names?
Yes. Blocks are held on the shape of the group — numbers, dates and room types — with the rooming list completed later.
Can you find meeting rooms as well as bedrooms?
Yes, and it is often the harder half of the booking. Meeting space during the conference fortnight is more constrained than bedrooms.
Can you arrange separate crew accommodation?
Yes. Crew and production staff usually need proximity, early breakfast and a different rate point rather than delegation-standard rooms.
Will our group get shuttle access?
Only if the hotel appears on the official COP31 accommodation list. Where it does not, we plan dedicated transport alongside the accommodation so the commute is solved from the start.
