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 Lake Como. Lake Como and Lake Garda share a heading but not a guest. Como is luxury and weddings, with North American and European couples paying for views and villas. Garda is German and Italian families on weekly stays, cycling and watersports. I price Como against luxury comps and Garda against family holiday homes.
For a Como or Garda owner I check the CIN and regional rules, then decide whether the home is a luxury villa or a family holiday home. I build a full-year plan with wedding seasons, holiday weeks and sensible winter floors.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Como.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Many lakeside homes and ferries reduce services, so I close remote villas, price town flats for short winter breaks and keep floors sensible.
Spring gardens on Como and German Pentecost holidays on Garda bring strong weeks; I price those periods firmly and open wedding dates on Como.
Families fill Garda and couples fill Como, so I run weekly stays on Garda, price Como weekends highest and protect wedding weekends.
The Monza Grand Prix in early September, harvest season and calmer weather keep demand strong; I keep rates high and relax stays later in October.
Price Como villas against luxury comps with wedding-season premiums.
Run Garda homes on weekly family stays in summer.
Price lake views and private access clearly higher.
List Garda homes on German-speaking channels.
Set off-season floors for both lakes.
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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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 presents lake views, private access and parking, since these features decide price far more than interior design on both lakes.
Busiest in Lake Como: May to September, with wedding season and July to August the highest. September to October: The Monza Grand Prix in early September, harvest season and calmer weather keep demand strong; I keep rates high and relax stays later in October. April to June: Spring gardens on Como and German Pentecost holidays on Garda bring strong weeks; I price those periods firmly and open wedding dates on Como.
