Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Bucharest, Romania, one to one, remotely and in Eastern European Time (UTC+2). In Bucharest, I price June to August as the peak and January to February as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

An audit with a strategy roadmap is a single project fee, usually delivered in four to eight weeks.

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 Bucharest. Bucharest is a business city with growing tourism. Tech and corporate travel fill weekdays, concerts and festivals fill some weekends, and many visitors continue to Transylvania. I price business weekdays and event weekends separately. Visitors heading to Transylvania often spend a night or two in the city first, and business guests fill weekdays. Pricing those two groups separately gets more out of both.
If you run a Bucharest flat, I review whether it is set up for corporate guests or weekend city-breakers, check invoicing and channel mix, then build a calendar that values weekday demand from the business districts and event dates at the big venues as separate revenue streams.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Bucharest.
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.

Cold weather and few events make this the quiet stretch. I set winter floors around corporate weekday demand and offer project-length stays rather than chasing weekend tourists who are not coming.
Business travel returns and spring city breaks start. I lift Tuesday to Thursday rates first and watch Orthodox Easter, which shifts each year and fills local leisure weekends.
Stadium concerts at the Arena Nationala and summer festivals create sharp single-date spikes. I load those dates the moment they are announced and keep two-night minimums on concert weekends.
Conference season and trade fairs at Romexpo keep weekdays busy. I price Monday to Thursday firmly and use small weekend offers to catch travellers heading on to Transylvania.
The Christmas market at Piata Constitutiei and New Year's Eve lift leisure demand while business travel stops. I price the festive weekends up and let the quiet weekdays run cheaper.
Set weekday corporate rates.
Add concert and festival weekends as premiums.
Offer monthly rates for project work.
Price Old Town and business-district homes separately.
Lower January and 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!
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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether invoices can be issued to companies, since many business travellers need a proper fiscal document and quietly book elsewhere when the host cannot provide one.
Busiest in Bucharest: May to September, UNTOLD Bucharest and business-travel weeks. June to August: Stadium concerts at the Arena Nationala and summer festivals create sharp single-date spikes. I load those dates the moment they are announced and keep two-night minimums on concert weekends. September to November: Conference season and trade fairs at Romexpo keep weekdays busy. I price Monday to Thursday firmly and use small weekend offers to catch travellers heading on to Transylvania. 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.
Corporate midweek rates, weekend premiums, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Bucharest calendar before I make it. September to November: Conference season and trade fairs at Romexpo keep weekdays busy. I price Monday to Thursday firmly and use small weekend offers to catch travellers heading on to Transylvania.
Pricing those two groups separately gets more out of both. Bucharest is a business city with growing tourism. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Bucharest.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Bucharest the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add concert and festival weekends as premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Bucharest sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. June to August: Stadium concerts at the Arena Nationala and summer festivals create sharp single-date spikes. I load those dates the moment they are announced and keep two-night minimums on concert weekends. For hotel revenue management consulting in Bucharest, 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 Bucharest, not the city. Offer monthly rates for project work. Next: lower January and February floors.
Dorobanti and Primaverii: Leafy, embassy-district streets suit longer premium stays. I position these flats against upscale serviced apartments rather than against Old Town party listings. Lipscani and the Old Town and Floreasca and Pipera get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Bucharest, not the market average.
