Astra’s Official Hotel Block
Enjoy an Exclusive $50 Nightly Savings — For a Limited Time!
Make the most of your trip by staying within the official Astra hotel block, featuring five thoughtfully selected hotels in the heart of the action. You’ll enjoy specially negotiated room rates, plus an extra $50 off each night, courtesy of Astra, when you book through these official links.
The $50 savings will be applied directly at hotel checkout after your stay, making it even easier to relax and enjoy Milwaukee.
Booking within the hotel block helps keep the group together, enhances the overall event experience and supports the marketplace's ability to host future events in top cities.
