Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Interlaken: the Jungfraujoch railway to the Top of Europe; Grindelwald, the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Schilthorn; paragliding, canyoning and adventure sports over the twin lakes; skiing across the First, Kleine Scheidegg and Muerren areas. Guests I price for: International adventure tourists and Asian tour groups on two to three summer nights, and week-long ski parties in winter around Interlaken and Grindelwald. Where I start: 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.
My hotel career included group-heavy markets like this one. For Interlaken hotels I review allotments with tour operators, the mix between groups and independent travellers in July and August, and how much inventory to hold back for high-paying direct guests.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Interlaken.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
Include Kurtaxe in total price.
Price Interlaken and Grindelwald separately.
Set shoulder floors.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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!

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 outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of 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.
Include Kurtaxe in total price. Next: set shoulder floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Interlaken property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Interlaken: April, May and November between the seasons. November: 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. April and May: 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.
Kurtaxe ignored in pricing and interlaken and Grindelwald priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Interlaken, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Interlaken, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Interlaken sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. 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.
Central Interlaken (Hoheweg, Matten): Flat, walkable and close to both stations, so I price for short summer itineraries and adventure bookers, with modest winter rates. Lauterbrunnen and Wengen and Grindelwald get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
skiing across the First, Kleine Scheidegg and Muerren areas, the Jungfraujoch railway to the Top of Europe and Grindelwald, the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Schilthorn are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in 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.
