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 The Black Forest. The Black Forest has two seasons: summer hiking around Titisee and winter skiing at Feldberg, with Freiburg's Christmas market as a city highlight. Families and walking groups stay four to seven nights. November is the gap. Freiburg itself behaves like a city break, while Titisee and Triberg are holiday bases. I price them separately and make sure both seasons carry a premium rather than just summer.
For a Black Forest home I first decide whether it is a city break, a ski base, a summer lake house or all three, then build a year that gives each season its own price level. I also review guest cards, spa tax, access and stay rules for your village.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in The Black Forest.
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.

When the snow holds, Feldberg and Todtnauberg ski weeks fill; I price weekends and school holiday weeks strongly but keep a quick review in place, because thin snow years change demand fast.
Easter and Pentecost holidays from Baden-Württemberg and neighbouring states lift chosen weeks, so I price those blocks firmly and use shorter stays in between for walkers and spa guests.
Lakeside homes at Titisee and Schluchsee and the trails around Feldberg command the year's best weeks; I keep five to seven night minimums and price Saturdays as key changeovers.
Autumn hiking and the wine harvest in the Kaiserstuhl and Markgräflerland keep demand steady, so I hold rates on weekends and give weekly discounts for longer midweek stays.
Early November is the quiet gap; I keep a firm floor, then lift Freiburg weekends for the Christmas market and price Christmas to New Year as a top block in the mountains.
Price July and August hiking weeks.
Price Feldberg ski season from late November to February.
Use 4 to 7-night stays in peak seasons.

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 the listing deals with winter access, parking and snow chains for hillside homes, since a forest view loses value fast if guests cannot reach it safely in January.
Busiest in The Black Forest: July and August for hiking around Titisee and Feldberg, then late November to February for Feldberg skiing and Freiburg's Christmas market. January to March: When the snow holds, Feldberg and Todtnauberg ski weeks fill; I price weekends and school holiday weeks strongly but keep a quick review in place, because thin snow years change demand fast. July to August: Lakeside homes at Titisee and Schluchsee and the trails around Feldberg command the year's best weeks; I keep five to seven night minimums and price Saturdays as key changeovers. 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.
Running a genuine dual-season curve so summer hiking and winter ski weeks both carry a premium, with firm shoulder floors through the quiet November gap. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the The Black Forest calendar before I make it. September to October: Autumn hiking and the wine harvest in the Kaiserstuhl and Markgräflerland keep demand steady, so I hold rates on weekends and give weekly discounts for longer midweek stays.
I price them separately and make sure both seasons carry a premium rather than just summer. The Black Forest has two seasons: summer hiking around Titisee and winter skiing at Feldberg, with Freiburg's Christmas market as a city highlight. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in The Black Forest.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In The Black Forest the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Feldberg ski season from late November to February. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
The Black Forest sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. July to August: Lakeside homes at Titisee and Schluchsee and the trails around Feldberg command the year's best weeks; I keep five to seven night minimums and price Saturdays as key changeovers. For hotel revenue management consulting in The Black Forest, 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 The Black Forest, not the city. Use 4 to 7-night stays in peak seasons. Next: set November floors.
Baiersbronn and the northern forest: Known for fine dining and walking trails, this area draws couples on spa and food breaks; I price for quality, with three-night stays and a weekend premium. Freiburg Altstadt and Wiehre and Titisee-Neustadt and Hinterzarten get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of The Black Forest, not the market average.
