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 Interlaken. Interlaken is an adventure hub with two seasons. Summer brings Jungfraujoch visitors, paragliders and Asian tour groups on short stays, while winter brings week-long ski parties to Grindelwald. The Kurtaxe tourist tax applies. I run a dual-season curve and price summer short stays carefully.
For Interlaken and Oberland owners I start with the local tax and registration position, then build two seasons and two shoulders on separate logic. We decide how each village competes, which weeks deserve weekly stays, and how to keep April, May and November from dragging down the year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Interlaken.
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 weeks around Grindelwald and Wengen are steady, and the Lauberhorn race weekend in January deserves its own rate; I use Saturday changeovers for chalets and shorter stays for central Interlaken.
Lifts close and high trails are still snowy, so I cut floors, open single nights and target long-haul Asian and Gulf travellers on rail passes who still visit the Jungfraujoch.
Paragliding, canyoning and the lake boats restart. I raise weekends first and let weekdays follow as tour groups arrive, keeping minimum stays short for itinerary travellers.
Every bed in the valley sells, so I stop last-minute discounts, hold two or three night minimums and price lake and Eiger views as clear premiums.
The Jungfrau Marathon in September and autumn hiking keep demand alive; I price that weekend high, then ease rates through October as the valley prepares for winter.
Many hotels close, so I keep a sensible floor and accept long stays from workers and travellers rather than discounting to chase short leisure trips.
Price July and August for short summer stays.
Price December to February ski weeks in Grindelwald.

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 explains the distance to Interlaken Ost station and the Jungfrau trains, since most guests are rail-pass holders who plan their days around those departures.
Busiest in Interlaken: July and August for the lakes and mountains, with a second peak from December to February for skiing. December to March: Ski weeks around Grindelwald and Wengen are steady, and the Lauberhorn race weekend in January deserves its own rate; I use Saturday changeovers for chalets and shorter stays for central Interlaken. July and August: Every bed in the valley sells, so I stop last-minute discounts, hold two or three night minimums and price lake and Eiger views as clear premiums. 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.
Running a true dual-season alpine curve with premium summer and ski peaks, floor-pricing the double shoulder, and factoring the local Kurtaxe tourist tax and any cantonal registration into rates. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Interlaken calendar before I make it. July and August: Every bed in the valley sells, so I stop last-minute discounts, hold two or three night minimums and price lake and Eiger views as clear premiums.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

Grindelwald: Eiger views and First skiing support weekly winter stays and strong summer hiking, so I run two distinct seasons with clear minimum stays for each.
