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 Davos: World Economic Forum annual meeting; Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas; Spengler Cup ice hockey at New Year; Summer hiking and congresses. Guests I price for: WEF delegates and companies on week-long bookings, ski families and congress visitors. Where I start: WEF week contracting a year ahead, ski-week pricing and cantonal guest tax.
For hotels in Davos and Klosters I work on WEF and congress contracts, Spengler Cup and ski packages, group policies and the summer congress calendar. Years in five-star chain hotels taught me how to write delegation contracts with attrition and deposit clauses, which matters more here than in any other Alpine resort.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Davos.
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.
Outsourced revenue for a Davos hotel revolves around the World Economic Forum, but the rest of the year matters just as much. I negotiate WEF contracts with delegations and agencies, set Spengler Cup and Christmas rates, manage ski-week pricing and fill the summer with medical and scientific congresses at the congress centre. Klosters hotels need a calmer, more family-focused approach.
My first step is to review the last WEF contract and the following ski season side by side, to see whether the forum week was priced and contracted well.
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.
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.
Close to the congress centre, Jakobshorn and the WEF zone, this area carries the highest WEF and congress value, so I price conference weeks separately from ski weeks.
My full Davos calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Davos.
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. Prices below are for a hotel of up to 20 rooms; larger hotels move up the size bands on the hotel plans page. 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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel Pricing Strategy Setup | One-time, done first: market, comp set, room types and rates turned into your strategy | From $750 |
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | From $900/mo |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | From $1,150/mo |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.

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 Davos: December to March, with the World Economic Forum in January the single highest week. 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. January (WEF week): 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. 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. Guest tax handling and registration with the local tourism organisation, plus whether the listing explains guest card benefits such as lift access in summer.
Run Saturday or Sunday ski weeks in February school holidays. Next: add summer congresses and hiking weeks to keep the low months alive. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Davos 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 Davos: April to May and November. June to October: Hiking, biking and congresses bring summer guests, so I price weeks and long weekends moderately and include the guest card benefits in the listing. 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.
Guest tax not included in quoted rates and davos and Klosters priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Davos, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Davos, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Davos sells mostly through Direct corporate rentals, Booking.com and Airbnb. January (WEF week): 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.
Davos Platz: Close to the congress centre, Jakobshorn and the WEF zone, this area carries the highest WEF and congress value, so I price conference weeks separately from ski weeks. Davos Dorf and Klosters 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.
Summer hiking and congresses, World Economic Forum annual meeting and Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Davos. June to October: Hiking, biking and congresses bring summer guests, so I price weeks and long weekends moderately and include the guest card benefits in the listing.
