Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Lyon: Fête des Lumières; Eurexpo and SIRHA trade fairs; Gastronomy tourism; Alpine ski gateway. Guests I price for: Business travellers midweek and gastronomy tourists at weekends. Where I start: Trade-fair and December premiums, and primary-residence rule compliance.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Lyon hotels balance congress, corporate and gastronomy-led leisure, build fences for SIRHA and December, and choose a competitive set by district so Part-Dieu and Presqu'île properties are not compared with each other unfairly.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Lyon.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”

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.

No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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!

Busiest in Lyon: Fête des Lumières in December, trade fairs, and May to September. 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. 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. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of 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.
Set midweek business rates. Next: display registration numbers. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Lyon property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Lyon: January to February and August. 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. January and February: SIRHA years change January completely, so I check the Eurexpo calendar first and keep floors steady otherwise, with ski weekenders passing through on Fridays.
Trade fairs ignored and august priced as summer peak. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Lyon, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Lyon, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Lyon sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. 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.
Vieux Lyon: Renaissance lanes and traboules sell to leisure guests and festival visitors; I price weekends high and protect December evenings first. Part-Dieu and Croix-Rousse get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Alpine ski gateway, Fête des Lumières and Eurexpo and SIRHA trade fairs are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Lyon. 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.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Lyon and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: add Eurexpo and SIRHA trade fairs as premiums.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Lyon I would start from 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.
