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 Key West. Key West is small, expensive and tightly regulated. Transient rental licences are limited, and many residential homes can only rent for 30 days or more. That makes the licensed short-stay homes valuable and the monthly homes a separate product entirely. Winter, Fantasy Fest and New Year's are the peaks, and hurricane season needs its own plan.
For Key West and Keys owners I start with licence status and zoning, then decide whether the home should run nightly stays, monthly stays or both. From there I build a calendar around winter, Fantasy Fest, the holiday weeks and hurricane season, with a clear target for each.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Key West.
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.

Winter sun and fishing season fill the Keys. I price licensed homes at their highest and set each month for monthly homes separately, with February and March strongest.
I shorten minimums and price Hemingway Days and the lobster mini-season in late July as short premiums, especially for homes with dock access in the Middle Keys.
Hurricane season needs flexible cancellation and realistic floors. I price for drive-in Florida guests and avoid long minimum stays on uncertain dates.
Fantasy Fest is its own season. I open it early with long minimum stays and price licensed homes in Old Town above every other autumn week.
Demand rises toward Christmas and New Year. I lift rates through December and price New Year's Eve with the same care as Fantasy Fest.
Confirm whether the property holds a transient licence or must run 30-day minimums.
For monthly homes, price each winter month separately rather than one flat monthly rate.
Price Fantasy Fest and New Year's as the top short-stay bands, with long minimum stays.
Set mid-December to April as the main season and add fishing tournament dates where relevant.
Lower floors in August to October and add flexible cancellation to win cautious guests.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |
| Implementation support | Setup in your systems and team training | Quoted |
| Monthly check-ins | Optional review sessions after delivery | Quoted |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.

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 cancellation policy handles hurricane evacuations, since visitors are usually asked to leave the Keys first when a storm threatens.
Busiest in Key West: Mid-December to April, with Fantasy Fest in late October and New Year's as spikes. November to December: Demand rises toward Christmas and New Year. I lift rates through December and price New Year's Eve with the same care as Fantasy Fest. January to April: Winter sun and fishing season fill the Keys. I price licensed homes at their highest and set each month for monthly homes separately, with February and March strongest. 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.
Winter premiums, monthly minimum-stay compliance in residential zones, and hurricane-season floors.
