Neither we nor the hotel are able to change room rates for reservations booked outside of the SXSW Housing portal. We contract a limited number of rooms per hotel at low conference rates, and these rates automatically populate in our booking portal. We do not have a discount code or any other way to apply these rates to outside reservations.
How to access the SXSW hotel rates:
- If you’ve already made a reservation directly through the hotel or another third-party, and wish to instead book via SXSW Housing, you are welcome to do so. But we recommend that you do not cancel your current reservation until you’ve secured a SXSW reservation.
- Our rooms can sell quickly, so we don’t want to leave you without a reservation if your preferred hotel/room sells out before you are able to book it. Please also review your current reservation’s cancellation policy to make sure that it allows for cancellations.
- To book your SXSW reservation, simply follow the instructions in this FAQ.
- Once you have received your SXSW reservation confirmation email, you may cancel your old reservation.
- To explore our current inventory before booking, please visit the Hotel Availability page for your event.
