Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Chamonix, France, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1).

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 Chamonix. The French Alps run on school-holiday weeks. February half-term across France, the UK and the Netherlands is the peak, chalets turn over on Saturdays, and summer in Chamonix and Annecy is a real second season. Inter-seasons are very quiet. The difference between the best and worst pricing I see here is almost always in how each holiday week is treated. A February week that overlaps French, British and Dutch holidays should never cost the same as a quiet January week.
For an Alpine chalet or apartment, I check what the commune permits, how the property compares with others at the same lift access, and whether every holiday week is priced for the countries it serves, then rebuild your winter and summer plans so the quiet months do not undercut the strong ones.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Chamonix.
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.

Christmas and New Year sell as fixed weeks, so I price them as their own band and keep changeover strict, since a gap left here is almost never refilled at full value.
Early January is soft, then February climbs with each school-holiday zone; I step rates week by week and loosen minimum stays only for the quieter March weeks.
Spring snow and Easter can hold late-season rates at high resorts, but by May I switch to short stays, Annecy lake visitors and the June animation festival crowd.
Summer hikers, lake families and the trail-running crowd around late August in Chamonix fill the calendar, and I price those weeks well above spring.
Many lifts and hotels close, so I keep floors sensible, welcome walkers and remote workers on longer stays, and get winter rates live early for planners.
Price each ski week by the school holidays it overlaps, with February highest.
Use Saturday-to-Saturday stays for chalets in winter.
Build a summer season for Chamonix hikers and Annecy lake visitors.
Add Tour de France stage dates as premiums.
Set low inter-season 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.

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 far the chalet really is from the nearest lift or ski bus stop, since ski groups filter by ski-in or walk-to-lift before they compare nightly rates.
Busiest in Chamonix: Mid-December to April ski season (February school holidays the highest) and July to August. July and August: Summer hikers, lake families and the trail-running crowd around late August in Chamonix fill the calendar, and I price those weeks well above spring. Mid-December to early January: Christmas and New Year sell as fixed weeks, so I price them as their own band and keep changeover strict, since a gap left here is almost never refilled at full value. 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.
