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 Málaga. Málaga and the Costa del Sol have one of the longest seasons in Europe. Summer families, Semana Santa, the August Feria, golf in spring and autumn, and northern Europeans escaping winter keep the calendar busy. The city has paused new tourist flats in many neighbourhoods, so licensed homes are worth protecting. I price summer by the week and winter by the month.
For a Malaga or Costa del Sol home, I check the licence and neighbourhood rules, then build a plan that captures Semana Santa and the Feria, prices summer weeks properly and fills winter with long-stayers who pay fair monthly rates.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Málaga.
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.

Northern Europeans escape the cold and the Christmas lights on Calle Larios draw city visitors. I price monthly stays for long-stayers and keep nightly rates moderate in the centre.
The Malaga Film Festival and Semana Santa make this the strongest spring stretch. I price Holy Week as a premium with minimum stays near the procession routes.
Spring golf and the early beach season lift demand along the coast. I price golf-course homes higher and keep beach homes on firm weekend rates.
Families fill the coast and the Feria de Malaga arrives in mid-August. I run weekly beach stays and price Feria week as a premium in the centre.
Warm weather, cruise calls and autumn golf keep demand strong. I relax minimums to three nights and keep weekend rates firm.
Price Semana Santa and the Feria de Málaga as top premiums.
Run beach homes on weekly summer stays.
Build monthly winter rates for Nordic and British long-stay guests.
Add golf-season pricing for homes near courses.

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 home suits winter long-stayers and remote workers, including heating, fast wifi and a real workspace, because monthly winter guests compare comfort carefully.
Busiest in Málaga: June to September, Easter (Semana Santa) and the Feria de Málaga in August. July to August: Families fill the coast and the Feria de Malaga arrives in mid-August.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
