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 Leeds. Leeds and York are three markets: York races and Christmas, Leeds Festival and city events, and Yorkshire Dales cottages. York attracts weekend groups, especially on race days. I price race days and festivals, and run Dales cottages by the week.
For Leeds and York owners I split strategy by city, setting York around races and Christmas, and Leeds around business and events, then check that each home is compared against the right neighbourhood. It works well for someone with properties in both cities who wants a clear calendar for each.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Leeds.
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.
York keeps a trickle of weekend history lovers and the Jorvik Viking Festival in February, so I price that week up and use simple midweek offers for the rest.
Racing returns to the Knavesmire in May with the Dante meeting, and Headingley cricket starts; I price those days as individual premiums and keep ordinary weekends steady.
The Ebor Festival in York and Leeds Festival at Bramham Park both land in August, so I lock those weeks early with minimum stays and price them separately for each city.
University return and graduation fill Leeds and York with parents, so I price those weekends to that guest, who books early and wants calm, comfortable stays near campus.
St Nicholas Fair and the York Christmas market make December weekends the strongest of the year in York, so I set two-night minimums and sell Friday and Saturday together.
Price York Racecourse meetings as premiums with group rules.
Add Leeds Festival weekend in August.
Price York Christmas market weekends.
Run Dales cottages on weekly summer stays.
Lower January and February floors.
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. 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 race-day bookings are handled, including deposit, occupancy and noise rules, because Knavesmire groups can fill a house quickly and the owner needs clear protection before the date opens.
Busiest in Leeds: York Races and Christmas market, Leeds Festival in August, and summer in the Yorkshire Dales. July to August: The Ebor Festival in York and Leeds Festival at Bramham Park both land in August, so I lock those weeks early with minimum stays and price them separately for each city. November to December: St Nicholas Fair and the York Christmas market make December weekends the strongest of the year in York, so I set two-night minimums and sell Friday and Saturday together. 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.
Race-day and festival premiums, group minimums in York, and cottage weekly pricing. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Leeds calendar before I make it. September to October: University return and graduation fill Leeds and York with parents, so I price those weekends to that guest, who books early and wants calm, comfortable stays near campus.
York attracts weekend groups, especially on race days. I price race days and festivals, and run Dales cottages by the week. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Leeds.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Leeds the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Leeds Festival weekend in August. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Leeds sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Sykes. July to August: The Ebor Festival in York and Leeds Festival at Bramham Park both land in August, so I lock those weeks early with minimum stays and price them separately for each city. For hotel revenue management consulting in Leeds, 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 Leeds, not the city. Price York Christmas market weekends. Next: lower January and February floors.
Headingley: Test cricket, rugby and the universities shape demand, so I load match and graduation dates and keep the rest of the year priced for visiting parents and academics. York inside the city walls and Leeds city centre get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Leeds, not the market average.
