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 Amsterdam. Amsterdam allows entire homes to be rented for only 30 nights a year, with a permit and a four-guest limit. That makes every night extremely valuable. I spend them on King's Day, tulip season weekends, Amsterdam Dance Event and big RAI conferences, and I make sure the listing never exceeds the guest limit.
For an Amsterdam owner I plan the 30 allowed nights around King's Day, tulip season, ADE and the biggest RAI conferences, and explore legal mid-term or B&B options for the rest of the year. I also check registration and guest-limit compliance before pricing.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Amsterdam.
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.
With only 30 nights to spend on an entire home, I rarely use winter nights, except perhaps during the Amsterdam Light Festival weekends that run into January.
Keukenhof tulip season and King's Day on 27 April are the year's top value, so I reserve allowed nights for those dates and price them at the top.
Pride in early August and summer weekends bring strong demand, so I spend a few allowed nights here only if they outperform autumn events and conferences.
The IBC conference at the RAI, the Amsterdam Marathon and Amsterdam Dance Event make autumn strong, so I save several nights for these dates.
The Light Festival and Christmas weekends attract visitors, but I usually spend remaining nights here only if earlier peaks are covered and the numbers are worth it.
Spend the 30 nights on King's Day, Amsterdam Dance Event and top conference weeks.
Use minimum stays that make the most of each allowed night.
Keep guest counts within the four-person limit.
Price hosted B&B rooms separately if they hold that permit.
Plan mid-term stays for the rest of the year where allowed.
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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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 the 30 nights are planned across the year, since spending them on random dates instead of King's Day, ADE and big RAI events leaves the most valuable nights unused.
Busiest in Amsterdam: April to September, King's Day on 27 April, tulip season and Amsterdam Dance Event in October. September to October: The IBC conference at the RAI, the Amsterdam Marathon and Amsterdam Dance Event make autumn strong, so I save several nights for these dates. April to May: Keukenhof tulip season and King's Day on 27 April are the year's top value, so I reserve allowed nights for those dates and price them at the top. 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.
Pricing within the 30-night annual rental cap, event-weekend premiums, and conference-driven midweek rates. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Amsterdam calendar before I make it. September to October: The IBC conference at the RAI, the Amsterdam Marathon and Amsterdam Dance Event make autumn strong, so I save several nights for these dates.
That makes every night extremely valuable. I spend them on King's Day, tulip season weekends, Amsterdam Dance Event and big RAI conferences, and I make sure the listing never exceeds the guest limit. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Amsterdam.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Amsterdam the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use minimum stays that make the most of each allowed night. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Amsterdam sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. June to August: Pride in early August and summer weekends bring strong demand, so I spend a few allowed nights here only if they outperform autumn events and conferences. For hotel revenue management consulting in Amsterdam, 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 Amsterdam, not the city. Keep guest counts within the four-person limit. Next: plan mid-term stays for the rest of the year where allowed.
Amsterdam Noord: Ferry-linked and creative, with festival venues and NDSM; I price it as a value option and spend allowed nights on ADE and summer festival weekends. Jordaan and the Canal Ring and De Pijp and Zuid get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Amsterdam, not the market average.
