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 Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach sit on two strong demand streams, cruise passengers through Port Everglades and winter snowbirds. Cruise guests want one or two nights, snowbirds want one or two months, and many listings are set up for neither. The Boat Show in late October is the other date I never leave to chance, and vacation rental registration has to be in order first.
For owners in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach I check licensing and registration, then compare cruise, snowbird and event demand for your specific home. We build a plan that decides when to sell monthly stays, when to sell short stays, and how to handle the Boat Show and hurricane season.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Fort Lauderdale.
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.

Snowbirds, the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington and the Palm Beach Boat Show fill the region, so I price monthly stays firmly and keep nightly rates high for short event stays.
Easter and late spring breaks keep April strong, then demand eases, so I relax minimums in May and keep weekend rates higher for regional visitors and air show crowds.
Summer families from Florida and Latin America replace snowbirds, so I sell weekly stays and use cruise departure days to fill weekday nights near Port Everglades.
Hurricane season and school calendars cut demand, so I lower floors and keep cruise nights priced firmly, then raise rates for the Boat Show at the end of October.
Snowbirds arrive, Art Basel in Miami spills north and holiday cruises sail, so I price December weeks firmly and open January to March monthly stays early.
Accept 1 and 2-night pre-cruise stays on sailing days and price them above ordinary weeknights.
Build monthly winter rates for December to April, checked against short-stay revenue for the same dates.
Price International Boat Show week as a top band for homes near the waterways.
Use weekly discounts for Spring Break and Easter family stays.
Lower floors from August to October and keep weekend rates a little higher.
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 describes distance to Port Everglades, the airport and the beach, because cruise guests and snowbirds choose on these details before price.
Busiest in Fort Lauderdale: December to April, with the Boat Show in late October, Spring Break and Easter. November to December: Snowbirds arrive, Art Basel in Miami spills north and holiday cruises sail, so I price December weeks firmly and open January to March monthly stays early. January to March: Snowbirds, the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington and the Palm Beach Boat Show fill the region, so I price monthly stays firmly and keep nightly rates high for short event stays. 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.
Pre-cruise night pricing, monthly winter rate cards, and vacation-rental registration compliance. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Fort Lauderdale calendar before I make it. August to October: Hurricane season and school calendars cut demand, so I lower floors and keep cruise nights priced firmly, then raise rates for the Boat Show at the end of October.
Cruise guests want one or two nights, snowbirds want one or two months, and many listings are set up for neither. The Boat Show in late October is the other date I never leave to chance, and vacation rental registration has to be in order first. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Fort Lauderdale.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Fort Lauderdale the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: build monthly winter rates for December to April, checked against short-stay revenue for the same dates. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Fort Lauderdale sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. June to July: Summer families from Florida and Latin America replace snowbirds, so I sell weekly stays and use cruise departure days to fill weekday nights near Port Everglades. For hotel revenue management consulting in Fort Lauderdale, 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 Fort Lauderdale, not the city. Price International Boat Show week as a top band for homes near the waterways. Next: lower floors from August to October and keep weekend rates a little higher.
West Palm Beach and Wellington: Close to the polo and equestrian season and Palm Beach events; I price winter monthly stays firmly for riders and families following the season. Las Olas and Victoria Park and Fort Lauderdale Beach and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Fort Lauderdale, not the market average.
