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 Inverness. Inverness is a staging post. Most guests are on the North Coast 500 or a wider Highland loop and want one or two nights before moving on, so I build the calendar around short stays rather than weeks. Summer is strong and fairly simple; the skill lies in pricing single nights well, treating lochside homes around Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus differently from the city, and keeping the dark months from going completely silent.
For an Inverness or Loch Ness owner I review licence conditions, the mix of single-night and longer stays, and how the property compares with true neighbours around the loch or in the city. I leave a calendar with summer, autumn and winter targets and clear rules for how short a stay the property should accept.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Inverness.
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.
Inverness hotels I review often set one flat summer rate months before the season and leave it alone. I check whether that rate reflects how fast June to September fills, how coach series are priced, and whether the Highland Games or the marathon weekend are visible in the rate plan. I also look at how business travel, hospital visitors and short breaks support the winter.
My first look is at how far ahead each summer month sold out in recent years, which usually shows whether the peak was priced too early.
Bookings for the summer road trip arrive in this window, so I publish summer rates early, while spring itself sells on Easter breaks and early drivers who want quieter roads.
I keep the calendar open to single nights, raise rates as dates fill and watch the Inverness Highland Games and the festival at Belladrum for extra pressure on beds.
Closest to the castle and the busiest stretch of the loch; I price these homes for two-night stays and lift them as summer coaches fill the village.
My full Inverness calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Inverness.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. 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 scoping chat 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. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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 copes with one-night bookings: check-in times that suit drivers arriving late from the west coast, parking for hire cars and a cleaning plan that survives daily turnovers.
Busiest in Inverness: June to September, with the North Coast 500 road trips. June to August: I keep the calendar open to single nights, raise rates as dates fill and watch the Inverness Highland Games and the festival at Belladrum for extra pressure on beds. September to October: Autumn colour and the marathon along the loch keep demand strong, so I hold summer-level rates into September and reduce them gradually through October as tour groups thin out. 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.
Summer premiums, one-night road-trip pricing and Scottish short-term let licensing. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Inverness calendar before I make it. September to October: Autumn colour and the marathon along the loch keep demand strong, so I hold summer-level rates into September and reduce them gradually through October as tour groups thin out.
Most guests are on the North Coast 500 or a wider Highland loop and want one or two nights before moving on, so I build the calendar around short stays rather than weeks. Summer is strong and fairly simple; the skill lies in pricing single nights well, treating lochside homes around Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus differently from the city, and keeping the dark months from going completely silent. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Inverness.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Inverness the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Loch Ness homes near Drumnadrochit, Dores and Fort Augustus as their own set, apart from Inverness city flats. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Inverness sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia. September to October: Autumn colour and the marathon along the loch keep demand strong, so I hold summer-level rates into September and reduce them gradually through October as tour groups thin out. For hotel revenue management consulting in Inverness, 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 Inverness, not the city. Add the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Loch Ness Marathon weekends as event dates. Next: use a lower winter floor with two-night weekend minimums for UK couples on quiet Highland breaks.
Fort Augustus: At the southern end of the loch beside the Caledonian Canal locks, it serves boaters and walkers on the Great Glen Way, so I price longer stays and treat it as a separate set. Inverness city centre and the River Ness and Drumnadrochit and Urquhart Bay get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Inverness, not the market average.
