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 Lisbon. Lisbon is a mature Alojamento Local market where the licence you already hold matters a lot, because new registrations are restricted in many central parishes. Demand is strong from May to October, Web Summit fills November and remote workers keep monthly demand alive in winter. I price the licence as scarce inventory and use the nomad segment to carry the quiet months.
For Lisbon owners I review the AL licence and parish first, then look at how June festivities, Web Summit and summer are priced and whether winter is covered by remote workers. The plan treats the licence as a valuable asset and sets a calendar that earns from events, city breaks and longer stays.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lisbon.
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.

Remote workers and winter-sun Europeans carry these months, so I lead with 30-night and two-week offers and keep nightly rates honest rather than chasing short city breaks at any price.
Easter, spring congresses and the first warm weekends bring demand back quickly, so I let weekend rates rise early and trim long-stay discounts as nightly bookings return.
The whole month is festive, with the night of 12 to 13 June the loudest in Alfama and Graça; I price that night and the surrounding weekend as a dated premium.
NOS Alive in Algés, the beaches at Cascais and Caparica and full flights keep the city busy, so I hold firm rates and set two or three-night minimums on weekends.
The marathon in October and Web Summit in November give me two clear peaks; I price Parque das Nações and good metro links highest during Web Summit week.
Christmas lights and New Year's Eve on the Praça do Comércio lift the end of the month, so I price those nights higher and keep early December modest.
Price Web Summit week in November as a top band for homes with good access to the venue.
Add the Santo António festivities in June as a premium for Alfama and nearby areas.
Build monthly rates for remote workers from November to March.
Price by parish and hill, since walkability and stairs change guest choice in Lisbon.
Separate Cascais and Caparica beach homes from city flats.
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.

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 describes stairs, hills and lift access, since Lisbon guests often book a cheaper flat and then leave poor reviews about a steep climb that the photos did not show.
Busiest in Lisbon: May to October, with Web Summit in November and the Santo António festivities in June. July to September: NOS Alive in Algés, the beaches at Cascais and Caparica and full flights keep the city busy, so I hold firm rates and set two or three-night minimums on weekends.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Lisbon the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add the Santo António festivities in June as a premium for Alfama and nearby areas. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

March to May: Easter, spring congresses and the first warm weekends bring demand back quickly, so I let weekend rates rise early and trim long-stay discounts as nightly bookings return.
