How to book via booking link:
Speakers must use this booking method.
- Our hotel inventory and rates are only available to SXSW Registrants, and can only be accessed in our booking portal.
- After you’ve registered, you will receive a Registration Confirmation email containing your badge details. Near the bottom of that email is your personalized booking link.
- The link will direct you to our booking portal. Simply follow the prompts in the portal to complete your reservation.
How to book via SXSW Cart:
- Sign in to the SXSW Cart used to purchase your registration. (e.g.: If someone purchased the registration on your behalf, make sure you’re signed in to the purchaser’s Cart).
- Click your name in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Select Purchase History. You will now see a list of each registration purchased in Cart.
- Select Request Hotel for each registration that requires accommodations. This will take you to the booking portal.
- Simply follow the prompts in the booking portal to complete your reservation.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for each registrant that needs a hotel reservation.
Booking tips:
- Each Registrant may book 1 room. If you are booking on behalf of multiple Registrants, each reservation will need to be made one at a time unless we are assisting you with a room block.
- Room Blocks:
- 20+ rooms: The SXSW Housing team can assist you with a room block. Please visit this FAQ for more information.
- Fewer than 20 rooms: Reservations can be made one at a time by using either booking method listed above.
- SXSW hotel rates automatically populate in our portal, no discount code needed. We are unable to apply our rates to reservations booked directly through the hotel or another third-party.
- When in the booking portal, do not use the back button on your browser. If you need to return to a previous page, use the navigation buttons in the portal to keep your progress.
- To explore hotels before booking, please visit the Hotel Availability page for your event.
