Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Athens, Greece, one to one, remotely and in Eastern European Time (UTC+2).

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Athens: Island ferry and cruise season; Athens Epidaurus Festival; Orthodox Easter; Shoulder-season city breaks. Guests I price for: European and North American leisure travellers, 3 to 5 nights in Athens and 5 to 7 nights on Mykonos, Santorini, Paros and Crete. Where I start: Island seasonality with hard shoulder-season floors, Athens year-round strategy, and AMA-compliant listing management.
My hotel years began in five-star chains, and for Athens and island hotels I work on segmentation between tour operators, direct guests and OTAs. I help with allotment decisions, release dates and pricing for the short island season, and in Athens I plan around cruise calls and conferences.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Athens.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Athens and the islands are two businesses. The islands run a short, intense summer with hard shoulders, while Athens can work most of the year. Athens has also frozen new short-term rental registrations in its central districts, which protects existing listings. I price island summers by the week and Athens around city-break seasons and Orthodox Easter.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Most island homes close or sit idle, while Athens keeps city breaks going; I price Athens weekends for European couples and use the Athens Marathon in November as a small spike.
Orthodox Easter and spring sightseeing make this Athens' best stretch, so I lift weekends early and open the first island weeks with flexible stays for couples.
Island weeks run full and Athens shifts to stopover guests between ferries; I keep island pricing weekly and price Athens one to three nights around ferry and flight times.
Warm seas and calmer crowds suit couples on the islands and city breakers in Athens; I keep September close to summer and step rates down only once October pickup slows.
Price island homes on weekly stays from June to September.
Price Orthodox Easter as a premium, noting it often differs from Western Easter.
Set Athens spring and autumn as main seasons with 2 to 3-night minimums.
Keep the AMA registration number on every listing.
Set island shoulder floors that still cover cleaning and ferry logistics.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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!

Busiest in Athens: June to September on the islands, April to June and September to October in Athens. April to May: Orthodox Easter and spring sightseeing make this Athens' best stretch, so I lift weekends early and open the first island weeks with flexible stays for couples. June to August: Island weeks run full and Athens shifts to stopover guests between ferries; I keep island pricing weekly and price Athens one to three nights around ferry and flight times. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How well the island listing explains the ferry or flight connections, transfer times and luggage logistics, since guests compare homes by how easy the journey is as much as by price.
Set Athens spring and autumn as main seasons with 2 to 3-night minimums. Next: set island shoulder floors that still cover cleaning and ferry logistics. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Athens property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Athens: November to March on the islands, January to February in Athens. November to March: Most island homes close or sit idle, while Athens keeps city breaks going; I price Athens weekends for European couples and use the Athens Marathon in November as a small spike.
Orthodox Easter dates confused with Western Easter and listings without an AMA number. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Athens, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Athens, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Athens sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. June to August: Island weeks run full and Athens shifts to stopover guests between ferries; I keep island pricing weekly and price Athens one to three nights around ferry and flight times.
Koukaki and Makrygianni: Below the Acropolis and near the museum, these streets attract first-time visitors; I price for short city breaks and keep spring and autumn weekends firm. Kolonaki and Pangrati and Paros and Naxos get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Shoulder-season city breaks, Island ferry and cruise season and Athens Epidaurus Festival are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Athens. April to May: Orthodox Easter and spring sightseeing make this Athens' best stretch, so I lift weekends early and open the first island weeks with flexible stays for couples.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Athens and work remotely in Eastern European Time (UTC+2). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Orthodox Easter as a premium, noting it often differs from Western Easter.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Athens I would start from June to August: Island weeks run full and Athens shifts to stopover guests between ferries; I keep island pricing weekly and price Athens one to three nights around ferry and flight times.
