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 Albuquerque. Albuquerque's calendar has one week that outweighs everything else: the International Balloon Fiesta in early October. Visitors come from around the world, hotels sell out and homes can charge several times their normal rate. The rest of the year is steadier, with road-trippers and film production crews. I price Fiesta first, then build a sensible base year.
For Albuquerque owners I start by building Balloon Fiesta correctly: the right minimum, the right timing and a rate set from comparable homes. Then I plan the rest of the year around road-trippers, film crews and medical stays, so the property does not rely on a single week.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Albuquerque.
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.

Quiet months for leisure, so I keep floors steady, invite monthly film and medical stays, and price ski weekends near Sandia Peak only slightly above weekdays.
The Gathering of Nations powwow in April is a real event, so I price that weekend as a premium and keep spring road-trip nights flexible.
Road-trippers on Route 66 and visitors to Old Town and the Sandias carry summer, so I allow short stays and protect weekend rates without expecting peak demand.
The New Mexico State Fair and early Fiesta bookings lift demand, so I keep weekends firm and stop discounting dates near October.
Fiesta is priced as a single block with long minimums, opened a year ahead, and I never sell its nights individually or at ordinary October rates.
After Fiesta I let rates settle, then price the luminaria nights around Christmas Eve in Old Town and the Country Club area modestly higher.
Price Balloon Fiesta week as the top band, opened a year ahead with 3 to 5-night minimums.
Price homes by distance to Balloon Fiesta Park.
Offer monthly rates for film and TV production crews.
Allow 1-night stays for Route 66 road-trippers outside Fiesta.
Lower January and February 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.

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!

Whether the property has the city permit and pays lodgers' tax correctly, because Albuquerque requires registration for short-term rentals and Fiesta brings extra attention.
