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 Bordeaux: Wine tourism in Saint-Émilion and the Médoc; Bordeaux Fête le Vin; Rugby and stadium concerts; Arcachon and Atlantic coast day trips. Guests I price for: European city-breakers and wine travellers on 3 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Harvest and festival premiums, and compliance with Bordeaux's primary-residence rules.
For Bordeaux hotels I look at the mix between wine trade, corporate travel around the Euratlantique district and leisure weekenders, then build rate fences for harvest and big stadium nights and choose a competitive set by quarter rather than by star rating alone.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Bordeaux.
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.
“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.”
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.
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.

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!
Airbnb host
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 Bordeaux: May to October, with Vinexpo, the wine festival in June and the harvest in September. 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. 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 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 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.
Plan the primary-residence night limit around the best dates. Next: lower November to February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Bordeaux 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 Bordeaux: November to February. November and December: 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. January to March: 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.
Harvest ignored and listings without registration. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Bordeaux, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Bordeaux, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Bordeaux sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Abritel. 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.
Chartrons: Antique shops, wine bars and the Cité du Vin nearby draw couples who want character, so I price weekends firmly and keep stays at two nights or more. Saint-Pierre and the Triangle d'Or and La Bastide (right bank) 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.
Arcachon and Atlantic coast day trips, Wine tourism in Saint-Émilion and the Médoc and Bordeaux Fête le Vin are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Bordeaux. November and December: 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.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Bordeaux I would start from 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.
