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 Hudson Valley. The Hudson Valley and Catskills are New York City's weekend countryside. Couples and groups come for foliage, towns like Hudson and Kingston, weddings and skiing at Hunter and Windham. Rules vary town by town, and many hosts misjudge how much weekend demand drops after the leaves fall. I set clear weekend rules and treat October as its own season.
If you own a Hudson Valley or Catskills home, I review your town's permit position, how your weekends, foliage dates and ski weekends are priced, and build a plan with you that keeps weekends strong and fills weekdays with remote workers.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Hudson Valley.
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.

Ski weekends and the holiday break carry the winter; I price Saturdays near Hunter, Windham and Belleayre on their own and keep river-town homes on value rates.
Mud season empties the hills, so I lower floors, allow single weekday nights and offer remote-work stays to city guests who want a quiet week.
Weddings, swimming holes and Bethel Woods concerts fill weekends; I price venue Saturdays and concert dates as premiums and keep weekdays open for remote workers.
Leaf season, harvest and Rhinebeck's Sheep and Wool Festival in October fill the valley; I hold weekend minimums and price festival weekends above ordinary autumn dates.
After the leaves fall, I step floors down, lift Thanksgiving weekend for city families and keep two-night weekend stays without forcing three.
Price October foliage weekends as the top band, with 2 to 3-night minimums.
Add wedding Saturdays near popular venues as premiums.
Price ski weekends near Hunter, Windham and Belleayre separately in winter.
Discount weekdays and allow short stays for remote workers.
Check local town permit rules before listing.
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 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!
