Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is quieter than Dubai but has one enormous weekend: the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Yas Marina. Yas Island also sells theme-park family stays, Saadiyat sells beach and culture, and government and energy travel supports weekdays. I price the Grand Prix a year ahead and position Yas homes against the island's hotels.
For Abu Dhabi owners, I review licensing, location and how your home stands against the hotels on Yas and Saadiyat. Then we build a yearly plan around the Grand Prix, the exhibitions, the holidays and summer, so your pricing reflects the capital's own demand instead of copying patterns from Dubai.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Abu Dhabi.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Cooler weather and ADIPEC at ADNEC fill weekdays, so I raise rates near the exhibition centre and protect the race weekend that closes the Formula 1 season.
National Day, New Year's Eve and school holidays bring families to Yas and Saadiyat, so I set minimum stays and price the festive nights as premiums.
Exhibitions such as IDEX in odd-numbered years and pleasant weather keep the week busy, so I hold rates and prepare Ramadan pricing as it approaches.
Heat rises and events slow, so I trim weekday rates, keep weekend rates steady for GCC families and price Eid as its own short season.
The heat pushes visitors indoors, so I target families coming for the indoor theme parks, offer monthly stays and keep floors that cover costs.
Price Grand Prix weekend as the top band, opened a year ahead with 3 to 4-night minimums.
Price Yas Island homes for families around school holidays and theme parks.
Set weekday rates for government and energy business travel.
Move Eid dates each year.
Offer summer long stays with realistic floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How far the home is from the Yas theme parks, the Louvre Abu Dhabi or ADNEC, since guests often choose by attraction and want short drives in the heat.
Busiest in Abu Dhabi: November to March, peaking on Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend and New Year's. February to March: Exhibitions such as IDEX in odd-numbered years and pleasant weather keep the week busy, so I hold rates and prepare Ramadan pricing as it approaches. October to November: Cooler weather and ADIPEC at ADNEC fill weekdays, so I raise rates near the exhibition centre and protect the race weekend that closes the Formula 1 season. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Grand Prix and holiday premiums, Yas and Saadiyat positioning versus hotels, and summer long-stay strategies. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Abu Dhabi calendar before I make it. April to May: Heat rises and events slow, so I trim weekday rates, keep weekend rates steady for GCC families and price Eid as its own short season.
Yas Island also sells theme-park family stays, Saadiyat sells beach and culture, and government and energy travel supports weekdays. I price the Grand Prix a year ahead and position Yas homes against the island's hotels. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Abu Dhabi.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Abu Dhabi the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Yas Island homes for families around school holidays and theme parks. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Abu Dhabi sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia. February to March: Exhibitions such as IDEX in odd-numbered years and pleasant weather keep the week busy, so I hold rates and prepare Ramadan pricing as it approaches. For hotel revenue management consulting in Abu Dhabi, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Abu Dhabi, not the city. Set weekday rates for government and energy business travel. Next: offer summer long stays with realistic floors.
Al Raha Beach: Between the airport, Yas and the city; I price for families and business travellers, with flexible stays and good value against the island hotels. Saadiyat Island and Al Reem Island get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Abu Dhabi, not the market average.
