HOUSING BUREAU

Visit Austin has partnered with Key Bookings to offer group housing services. They will manage and monitor room blocks at multiple hotels via the simple, secure Passkey web portal. Services include a customized event site for your group, a toll-free question hotline, room block management and more. Reservations can be booked online or by phone.

For meeting planners, the Housing Bureau offers secure, 24/7 access to online inventory and room block management tools, along with useful reports. Planners can manage reservations through the day of arrival, and even send broadcast e-mail communications to attendees and exhibitors.

Getting started

Begin the conversation with your sales representative during the booking process if possible. If the decision to use housing occurs after the hotels are contracted, contact Linda Atkins at 512-583-7222 or 866-462-8784 for more information.
