Overview

What is outsourced hotel revenue management in Brighton?

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 Brighton: Brighton Pride; Brighton Festival and Fringe; Summer seafront demand; Party conferences and stag and hen groups. Guests I price for: Londoners and international visitors on 1 to 3 night stays, groups at weekends. Where I start: Pride and festival premiums, weekend group minimums, and midweek floors.

My hotel background fits Brighton's mix of weekend leisure, conferences and festivals. For Brighton hotels I review conference blocks at the Brighton Centre, Pride and festival pricing with proper minimum stays, group policies that protect other guests, and midweek packages that bring Londoners down on quieter nights.

The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Brighton.

Included

What I run for a hotel on a monthly plan in Brighton

Daily rates and restrictions

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.

  • BAR and rate-plan strategy by room type
  • Seasonal, event and day-of-week rules
  • Length-of-stay and minimum-stay restrictions
  • Closed-to-arrival and stop-sell logic

Distribution and OTAs

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.

  • OTA and metasearch optimization
  • Rate-parity checks and promotions
  • Segmentation across OTA, direct and corporate
  • Channel manager and PMS mapping

Forecasts and budgets

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.

  • 12-month demand forecast
  • Annual budget and re-forecast
  • Group, corporate and event rate strategy
  • Pace and displacement analysis

Reporting and strategy calls

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.

  • Monthly performance summary
  • ADR, occupancy and RevPAR reporting
  • Monthly strategy call (Pro)
  • Quarterly business review (Pro)
Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Brighton

“Brighton is weekends, festivals and groups. Pride in August is the top weekend, Brighton Festival and Fringe fill May, and Londoners come down for one or two nights all summer. Stag and hen groups are a big segment that needs clear rules.”

How I price it

My Brighton calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January and FebruaryLow

    I keep a modest floor, open single nights and target Londoners on midweek breaks and visiting university families rather than discounting deeply.

  2. March and AprilShoulder

    The Brighton Marathon in April brings runners and families for one or two nights. I price that weekend as an event and lift Easter weekends.

  3. MayHigh

    Brighton Festival, the Fringe and the Great Escape fill weekends. I price each festival weekend individually and keep two-night rules for central homes.

  4. June to SeptemberPeak

    Beach weather, Pride in August and summer bank holidays drive the year. I hold firm weekend rates and longer minimums for seafront and Kemptown homes.

  5. October to DecemberShoulder

    Party conferences in some years and Christmas weekends lift demand. I price conference weeks near the Brighton Centre and soften rates in November.

Where I price differently in Brighton

Kemptown
The centre of Pride and the LGBTQ+ scene, so I price Pride weekend at the top band and keep summer weekends strong.
North Laine and the Lanes
Independent shops and restaurants near the station suit couples and short breaks; I price weekends highly and keep weekdays competitive.
Hove
Quieter, with larger family homes and a calmer seafront, so I price for families and longer stays rather than groups.

What I check first in Brighton

  • Whether the house rules and pricing for groups are clear, because stag and hen groups need deposits and limits that protect the property and the neighbours.
  • How the listing shows the walk to the station, the beach and the Lanes, since many guests come from London by train and decide quickly on distance.
  • Whether the property is affected by local planning or licensing rules in Brighton and Hove, which I check before setting a long-term pricing plan.

Who it is for

When outsourced hotel revenue management makes sense in Brighton

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.

How it works

From first message to results in Brighton

  1. 01

    Tell me about the hotel

    Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.

  2. 02

    I build the strategy

    I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.

  3. 03

    I price it every day

    I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.

Step 4

We review each month

You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.

Pricing

Hotel plans and prices

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.
