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 Dublin. Dublin has very high demand and tight rules. In Rent Pressure Zones, a home that is not your primary residence generally needs planning permission to be let short-term, and a national register is being introduced. Where letting is allowed, St Patrick's Festival, Six Nations weekends and stadium concerts create some of the strongest nights in Europe, and tech-sector travel fills weekdays.
For a Dublin owner I check the planning position and the new register first, because many homes cannot be let short term at all. Where letting is allowed, I build a plan around rugby, GAA, concerts and corporate demand, and where it is not, I set up a mid-term strategy for relocating staff and visiting professionals.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Dublin.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Six Nations home matches at the Aviva are the only real spikes, so I price those Saturdays at the top and give weekday corporate guests sensible weekly rates for the rest.
St Patrick's week behaves like its own season; I open it a year out, set a three-night minimum around the parade day and refuse to discount even if pickup looks slow early.
Stadium concerts at Croke Park and the Aviva, plus graduation weeks at Trinity and UCD, give scattered peaks; I load every confirmed date and keep plain weekends firm.
Summer tourists, the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS and All-Ireland finals keep the city full; I hold weekend rates high and let only Sunday nights soften.
Autumn rugby internationals, the Dublin Marathon and Christmas shopping trips from the UK and the regions keep demand steady; I price November weekdays for business travel and December weekends for leisure.
Confirm whether the property can be let short-term under planning rules before pricing.
Price St Patrick's Festival and Six Nations weekends as top premiums.
Add Croke Park and Aviva concert dates individually.
Set weekday corporate rates near the Docklands.
Offer mid-term stays for tech relocations.
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.

Strong work!

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. How the listing presents its walk to the Aviva, Croke Park or the 3Arena, since concert and match guests search by venue and book the moment a show is announced.
Busiest in Dublin: June to September, St Patrick's Festival in March, and rugby and concert weekends. July to September: Summer tourists, the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS and All-Ireland finals keep the city full; I hold weekend rates high and let only Sunday nights soften. October to December: Autumn rugby internationals, the Dublin Marathon and Christmas shopping trips from the UK and the regions keep demand steady; I price November weekdays for business travel and December weekends for leisure. 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.
Event-weekend premiums, corporate midweek strategies, and compliant positioning under Rent Pressure Zone rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Dublin calendar before I make it. July to September: Summer tourists, the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS and All-Ireland finals keep the city full; I hold weekend rates high and let only Sunday nights soften.
In Rent Pressure Zones, a home that is not your primary residence generally needs planning permission to be let short-term, and a national register is being introduced. Where letting is allowed, St Patrick's Festival, Six Nations weekends and stadium concerts create some of the strongest nights in Europe, and tech-sector travel fills weekdays. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Dublin.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Dublin the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price St Patrick's Festival and Six Nations weekends as top premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Dublin sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. April to June: Stadium concerts at Croke Park and the Aviva, plus graduation weeks at Trinity and UCD, give scattered peaks; I load every confirmed date and keep plain weekends firm. For hotel revenue management consulting in Dublin, 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 Dublin, not the city. Add Croke Park and Aviva concert dates individually. Next: offer mid-term stays for tech relocations.
Drumcondra and Phibsborough: Walking distance to Croke Park, these streets fill on GAA finals and concert nights; I price those dates sharply and offer value on quiet weekends. Grand Canal Dock and the Docklands and Ballsbridge get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Dublin, not the market average.
