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 Los Angeles. Los Angeles is really ten markets that happen to share a name. A two-bedroom in Venice, one in Silver Lake and one near Crypto.com Arena should never share a base rate or a season. On top of that, the Home-Sharing Ordinance changes what a listing is allowed to be, so I usually start by separating the homes that can run short stays from those that should be mid-term, then price each neighbourhood on its own curve.
For Los Angeles owners I first work out which city the address really sits in and whether it qualifies for short stays at all, then decide between nightly, mid-term or a mix. From there each home gets its own neighbourhood comp set and event calendar, because a Pasadena bungalow and a Venice walk street share almost nothing.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Los Angeles.
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.

The Rose Parade on New Year's Day lifts Pasadena, then award season and the LA Marathon in March give Hollywood and the Westside their own spikes. Outside those dates I keep floors realistic.
Spring weather, graduations at UCLA and USC and festival travel lift weekends. I price commencement weekends near campus as events and open summer beach dates early.
Beach homes in Santa Monica, Venice and the South Bay lead. I price family weeks firmly and use gap rules so weekday nights do not stay empty between weekend stays.
Football at SoFi Stadium and the Rose Bowl, concerts and conventions replace beach demand. I price by event and neighbourhood rather than lifting the whole city at once.
Christmas and New Year bring families and visiting relatives. I lift holiday weeks across the city and keep longer minimum stays on the Westside where demand is strongest.
Set base prices by neighbourhood cluster, Westside beach, Hollywood and the hills, Downtown and the east side, and never copy a comp from one cluster into another.
Where the property is not your primary residence, build a 30-plus night rate card instead of forcing short stays that the ordinance does not allow.
Give award season in late winter its own price band on the Westside and in Hollywood rather than letting January look like a quiet month.
Use gap-night rules for Sunday to Thursday. Weekend-heavy demand leaves 2 and 3-night holes that fill only if the minimum stay drops for those exact dates.
Load summer beach pricing early, from March, because families planning June to August trips book months ahead.
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!

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 property is better suited to 30-plus-night guests such as production crews, medical staff or insurance-housed families, since mid-term demand can beat a restricted short-stay calendar.
Busiest in Los Angeles: June to August and the Christmas to New Year window, plus award season in late winter. December: Christmas and New Year bring families and visiting relatives. I lift holiday weeks across the city and keep longer minimum stays on the Westside where demand is strongest. April to May: Spring weather, graduations at UCLA and USC and festival travel lift weekends. I price commencement weekends near campus as events and open summer beach dates early. 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.
Neighborhood-level base pricing (Westside vs. Hollywood vs. Downtown), orphan-gap rules for Sunday to Thursday, and mid-term rate cards where the home-sharing ordinance limits short stays. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Los Angeles calendar before I make it. September to November: Football at SoFi Stadium and the Rose Bowl, concerts and conventions replace beach demand. I price by event and neighbourhood rather than lifting the whole city at once.
com Arena should never share a base rate or a season. On top of that, the Home-Sharing Ordinance changes what a listing is allowed to be, so I usually start by separating the homes that can run short stays from those that should be mid-term, then price each neighbourhood on its own curve. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Los Angeles.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Los Angeles the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: where the property is not your primary residence, build a 30-plus night rate card instead of forcing short stays that the ordinance does not allow. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Los Angeles sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Furnished Finder. June to August: Beach homes in Santa Monica, Venice and the South Bay lead. I price family weeks firmly and use gap rules so weekday nights do not stay empty between weekend stays. For hotel revenue management consulting in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, not the city. Give award season in late winter its own price band on the Westside and in Hollywood rather than letting January look like a quiet month. Next: load summer beach pricing early, from March, because families planning June to August trips book months ahead.
Pasadena: The Rose Parade, Rose Bowl games and Caltech visitors create strong event dates. I price New Year's and stadium weekends separately and check Pasadena's own rental rules first. Silver Lake and Echo Park and Studio City and Sherman Oaks get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Los Angeles, not the market average.
