Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Berlin, Germany, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Berlin, I price May to August as the peak and November and December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue.

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 Berlin: Berlinale film festival; IFA and ITB trade fairs; Berlin Marathon; Club and festival tourism. Guests I price for: Young international travellers, trade-fair visitors and mid-term relocation guests. Where I start: Registration-compliant pricing, trade-fair premiums, and mid-term rate cards for the relocation segment.
My background is ten years in five-star hotels, and for Berlin hotels I focus on the balance between trade fairs, congresses and young leisure travellers, fences for the big Messe weeks, and comp sets built by district, since Mitte and Charlottenburg rarely compete for the same guests.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Berlin.
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.
“Berlin combines strict registration rules with a strong trade-fair and relocation market. Every listing needs its registration number, and secondary homes need a permit. Berlinale, ITB, IFA and the Marathon create peaks, while relocations and project work fill longer stays. I price trade fairs sharply and build a serious mid-term offer.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The big agricultural and food fair at the Messe and the winter fashion shows bring visitors to a cold month, so I price those dates near Charlottenburg and leave the rest modest.
The film festival and the tourism fair lift demand, and spring city breaks start, so I price event weeks firmly and let ordinary weeks build steadily.
Summer festivals, open-air clubs and long daylight bring young travellers, so I price weekends highest and keep weekday stays open for relocation guests.
The electronics fair, the marathon and even-year rail industry show fill the city, and I load each as an event with minimum stays.
Christmas markets support weekends, but weekdays soften, so I lean on mid-term stays and keep short-stay floors realistic.
Price Berlinale, ITB, IFA and Berlin Marathon weeks as premiums.
Build 1 to 6-month rates for relocations and project work.
Price by district and U-Bahn access.
Keep the registration number visible on every listing.
Lower November to January floors outside Christmas markets.
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 |

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 Berlin: May to September, plus Berlinale in February and IFA and Berlin Marathon in September. February to April: The film festival and the tourism fair lift demand, and spring city breaks start, so I price event weeks firmly and let ordinary weeks build steadily. May to August: Summer festivals, open-air clubs and long daylight bring young travellers, so I price weekends highest and keep weekday stays open for relocation guests. 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 the listing shows U-Bahn and S-Bahn access, since guests often pick a district by how quickly they can reach Mitte, the Messe or a club.
Price by district and U-Bahn access. Next: lower November to January floors outside Christmas markets. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Berlin 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 Berlin: November to January outside Christmas markets. November and December: Christmas markets support weekends, but weekdays soften, so I lean on mid-term stays and keep short-stay floors realistic. January: The big agricultural and food fair at the Messe and the winter fashion shows bring visitors to a cold month, so I price those dates near Charlottenburg and leave the rest modest.
No mid-term offer in a strong relocation city and trade-fair weeks priced like ordinary weeks. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Berlin, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Berlin, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Berlin sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. February to April: The film festival and the tourism fair lift demand, and spring city breaks start, so I price event weeks firmly and let ordinary weeks build steadily.
Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg: Central and leafy, these districts suit couples and families on city breaks; I price them highest and protect summer and event weekends. Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain and Charlottenburg 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.
Club and festival tourism, Berlinale film festival and IFA and ITB trade fairs are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Berlin. November and December: Christmas markets support weekends, but weekdays soften, so I lean on mid-term stays and keep short-stay floors realistic.
