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 Bordeaux. Bordeaux is a wine city with festivals and a strong harvest season. Saint-Émilion and Médoc visitors stay a few nights, Bordeaux Fête le Vin brings crowds, and the city limits renting primary residences. I price harvest and festival weekends and keep within the limits.
For a Bordeaux flat or small group of homes, I start with the legal status of each property and how many nights it can genuinely sell, then map those nights to harvest, tasting season and the strongest city-break weekends, so the year is planned around value rather than filled on a first-come basis.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Bordeaux.
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.
I keep Bordeaux winter rates honest and favour Saturday arrivals from Paris on the TGV, rather than burning permitted nights on wet weekdays that only sell at a deep discount.
Spring en primeur tastings and long May weekends bring wine trade and couples together, so I firm up Thursday to Sunday blocks and watch June for the riverside wine festival in the years it runs.
Many visitors split time with Arcachon and the Cap Ferret beaches, so I accept shorter city stays in summer and price for the weekday traveller passing through rather than a long beach week.
Picking season sends demand towards anything with easy access to the Right Bank châteaux, and I protect those weekends with a two or three night minimum and no early discounting.
I lean on concerts and rugby fixtures at the stadiums, and on Christmas city breaks, to hold weekend rates while letting midweek floors drift down.
Price harvest weekends in September as premiums.
Add Bordeaux Fête le Vin as an event premium.
Plan the primary-residence night limit around the best dates.
Add rugby and concert dates.
Lower November to 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.

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 describes tram access, since guests here compare homes by the A, B and C lines and by walking time to the quays and Saint-Jean station.
Busiest in Bordeaux: May to October, with Vinexpo, the wine festival in June and the harvest in September. September and October: Picking season sends demand towards anything with easy access to the Right Bank châteaux, and I protect those weekends with a two or three night minimum and no early discounting. April to June: Spring en primeur tastings and long May weekends bring wine trade and couples together, so I firm up Thursday to Sunday blocks and watch June for the riverside wine festival in the years it runs. 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.
Harvest and festival premiums, and compliance with Bordeaux's primary-residence rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Bordeaux calendar before I make it. September and October: Picking season sends demand towards anything with easy access to the Right Bank châteaux, and I protect those weekends with a two or three night minimum and no early discounting.
Saint-Émilion and Médoc visitors stay a few nights, Bordeaux Fête le Vin brings crowds, and the city limits renting primary residences. I price harvest and festival weekends and keep within the limits. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Bordeaux.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Bordeaux the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Bordeaux Fête le Vin as an event premium. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Bordeaux sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Abritel. July and August: Many visitors split time with Arcachon and the Cap Ferret beaches, so I accept shorter city stays in summer and price for the weekday traveller passing through rather than a long beach week. For hotel revenue management consulting in Bordeaux, 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 Bordeaux, not the city. Plan the primary-residence night limit around the best dates. Next: lower November to February floors.
La Bastide (right bank): Newer flats with views back across the Garonne attract families and groups; I price them as value against the left bank and stress parking and space. Chartrons and Saint-Pierre and the Triangle d'Or get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Bordeaux, not the market average.
