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 Lyon. Lyon has one extraordinary week: Fête des Lumières in December, when the city fills for four nights of light installations. The rest of the year depends on trade fairs, gastronomy and business travel. August is quiet. I price the festival first and build midweek business pricing.
For a Lyon flat, I confirm its legal status and how many nights it can be let, then position it between business and leisure demand by quarter and transport, so the Eurexpo calendar, gastronomy weekends and December light festival all get the rates they deserve.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lyon.
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.
SIRHA years change January completely, so I check the Eurexpo calendar first and keep floors steady otherwise, with ski weekenders passing through on Fridays.
Spring brings congresses, gastronomy weekends and the start of the Fourvière festival, and I raise weekend rates while keeping weekday business pricing in place.
July still holds summer concerts at the Roman theatre, but August empties business demand, so I price summer as leisure only and keep stays flexible.
The return of trade fairs and the Biennale years push midweek demand, so I load event dates early and hold weekday rates firm near Part-Dieu.
Early December carries the whole month, and after that I treat Christmas and New Year as a modest city-break period rather than a second peak.
Price Fête des Lumières as the top band, opened a year ahead with minimum stays.

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.

Step 4

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 the listing describes metro and tram access to Part-Dieu and Eurexpo, since business guests choose a flat by commute time to the fair or office.
Busiest in Lyon: Fête des Lumières in December, trade fairs, and May to September. December: Early December carries the whole month, and after that I treat Christmas and New Year as a modest city-break period rather than a second peak. March to June: Spring brings congresses, gastronomy weekends and the start of the Fourvière festival, and I raise weekend rates while keeping weekday business pricing in place. 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.
Trade-fair and December premiums, and primary-residence rule compliance. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Lyon calendar before I make it. September to November: The return of trade fairs and the Biennale years push midweek demand, so I load event dates early and hold weekday rates firm near Part-Dieu.
Lyon has one extraordinary week: Fête des Lumières in December, when the city fills for four nights of light installations. The rest of the year depends on trade fairs, gastronomy and business travel. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Lyon.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Lyon the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Eurexpo and SIRHA trade fairs as premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Lyon sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. July and August: July still holds summer concerts at the Roman theatre, but August empties business demand, so I price summer as leisure only and keep stays flexible.

Croix-Rousse: A village feel on the hill attracts longer leisure stays and food lovers; I price for value with weekly offers outside event weeks. Vieux Lyon and Part-Dieu get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Lyon, not the market average.
