SXSW Registration & Hotels

Written by Russ on August 4, 2008 – 6:33 pm

SXSW Registration is now open.

So what, right?

Well, I’ve never been before, but those “in the know” (as well as the fine folks who send the SXSW Panel Submission emails) say that if you intend on attending that you should sign-up now and book your hotel right away.

That’s no easy task, for what it’s worth.

The hotel registration form has a drop down that coincides with a Google Map. The hotels are listed in order of proximity to SXSW, but you cannot see the prices unless you sift through each of the hotels.

One by one.

That’s not fun.

Fortunately for you, I decided that I should not be the only one to go through this hell, so I’ve copied down all of the hotels–in order of closest to farthest to/from SXSW, along with the prices for 1-4 occupants.

Without any additional ramblings from me:

   I have booked, and received confirmation from the Hampton Inn Downtown.

   And they aren’t showing up anymore on the SXSW hotels list–and apparently it is the only one that is full, at least as of this comment.

   Or, one could visit http://www.sxsw.com/hotels before going to the hotel requester. This will also allow you to look at the amenities before choosing.
