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 Montpellier. Montpellier is a student city with beaches next door. Term time brings parents and academics, summer brings beachgoers to Palavas and La Grande-Motte, and the Festival de Radio France fills July. I price summer and festival weeks and use term-time demand to support the rest.
For a Montpellier home, I look at whether it competes as a city, student or beach property, check registration and taxes, and map festivals, term dates and summer weeks into one plan, so each part of the year has its own pricing logic.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Montpellier.
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.
Visiting academics, hospital-related stays and students' families keep some demand alive, so I allow longer stays and keep the floor steady rather than cutting deeply.
Spring weekends, the action sports festival and graduation season lift demand, and I firm up weekends while keeping weekday stays flexible for visiting families.
Beaches, dance and music festivals all overlap, so I price July highest in the city and let beach-side homes run on weekly stays with firm rates.
Term starts bring student families and conferences, so I price early September well and ease towards winter while protecting key weekends.
Price June to September for beach visitors.
Add Festival de Radio France dates.

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.

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. If the listing explains how to reach the beaches, since many guests underestimate the distance from the city and need clear advice before choosing.
