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 Lille. Lille has one enormous weekend, the Braderie de Lille on the first weekend of September, when millions visit Europe's biggest flea market. December's Christmas market is the second peak. Eurostar brings London and Brussels weekenders all year. I price the Braderie a year ahead.
For a Lille flat, I check how it competes for Eurostar weekenders and business visitors, whether its registration and taxes are right, and how its location relates to the stations, then rebuild a calendar that holds weekend value and fills weekdays without giving rate away.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lille.
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.

I keep weekend rates for Eurostar visitors fair and lean on trade shows at Lille Grand Palais midweek, instead of slashing prices to fill quiet winter nights.
Spring weekends, football at the stadium and the cultural seasons around Lille 3000 bring short stays, so I keep two-night weekends and watch event dates closely.
Students leave and summer is relatively quiet, so I welcome longer stays and keep midweek rates realistic rather than pricing August like a holiday resort.
The first weekend of September stands apart; after it I return to normal autumn levels and use the month for conferences and returning students' families.
Autumn weekends and then the Christmas market carry the calendar, and I raise Friday and Saturday rates for December while keeping Sundays and midweek accessible.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.

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. Whether the French registration number appears on every listing and the tourist tax is applied consistently, since Lille checks city lets and guests compare totals carefully.
Busiest in Lille: the Braderie de Lille on the first weekend of September, and December for the Christmas market. September: The first weekend of September stands apart; after it I return to normal autumn levels and use the month for conferences and returning students' families. October to December: Autumn weekends and then the Christmas market carry the calendar, and I raise Friday and Saturday rates for December while keeping Sundays and midweek accessible.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Lille the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Christmas market weekends in December. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
