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 Davos. Davos is the only Alpine resort whose biggest week has nothing to do with skiing. The World Economic Forum turns whole apartments and shopfronts into corporate rentals in January, the Spengler Cup fills the New Year, and then the ski season takes over. Klosters is quieter and more chalet-based. I treat WEF as a contracting exercise and the rest of winter as ski-week pricing.
For Davos and Klosters owners I review WEF contracting, ski-week pricing, summer demand and tax handling, and compare the property with the right comp set. It suits owners who want an independent view on WEF offers and a clear plan for the rest of the year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Davos.
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.
Davos hotels often focus so heavily on WEF that the rest of winter is priced from habit. I review ski-week rates, Spengler Cup pricing, congress contracts and summer packages, and I check how WEF contracts handle deposits, attrition and cancellation. For Klosters hotels I look at family and long-stay rates.
I begin by reading the WEF contract terms, then compare ski-season rates with the hotel's actual pick-up for the Christmas and February weeks.
The World Economic Forum is priced as a separate contract with companies and agencies, with long rental periods, clear deposits and terms agreed well ahead.
School holidays from Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands fill ski weeks, so I keep weekly rates firm and protect Saturday or Sunday changeovers.
Near the Parsenn railway and the lake, Dorf suits ski families and summer guests, and I price ski weeks and lake views as clear premiums.
My full Davos calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Davos.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. 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 scoping chat 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. Guest tax handling and registration with the local tourism organisation, plus whether the listing explains guest card benefits such as lift access in summer.
Busiest in Davos: December to March, with the World Economic Forum in January the single highest week. February to March: School holidays from Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands fill ski weeks, so I keep weekly rates firm and protect Saturday or Sunday changeovers. December to early January: Christmas, New Year and the Spengler Cup make late December the second peak after WEF, so I set the highest ski-season rates and require stays of a week or more. 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.
WEF week contracting a year ahead, ski-week pricing and cantonal guest tax. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Davos calendar before I make it. April to May and November: Lifts close and much of the resort pauses, so I keep low rates for congress guests and long stays or close the property for maintenance.
Davos is the only Alpine resort whose biggest week has nothing to do with skiing. The World Economic Forum turns whole apartments and shopfronts into corporate rentals in January, the Spengler Cup fills the New Year, and then the ski season takes over. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Davos.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Davos the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price the Spengler Cup and New Year as the second winter peak. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Davos sells mostly through Direct corporate rentals, Booking.com and Airbnb. February to March: School holidays from Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands fill ski weeks, so I keep weekly rates firm and protect Saturday or Sunday changeovers. For hotel revenue management consulting in Davos, 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 Davos, not the city. Run Saturday or Sunday ski weeks in February school holidays. Next: add summer congresses and hiking weeks to keep the low months alive.
Klosters: Quieter, with chalets and the Gotschna and Madrisa lifts, Klosters attracts families and longer stays, and I price weekly ski rentals with a calmer, more exclusive position. Davos Platz and Davos Dorf get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Davos, not the market average.
