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 Newport. Newport is a summer and weddings town. The Folk and Jazz festivals, sailing events and the mansions fill June to September, and wedding weekends shape many Saturdays. Rhode Island requires short-term rental registration. I price festivals and weddings early and make the quiet months work with longer stays.
For a Newport home, I build a weekend-by-weekend calendar of festivals, regattas and wedding dates, confirm the registration and zoning picture, and set rules that stop a valuable Saturday being sold as one night. You end up with a clear plan for summer and a realistic one for the quiet months.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Newport.
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.

I keep weekend rates modest for the Winter Festival and Salve Regina visits, and point midweek toward travelling professionals and sailors fitting out boats for the coming season.
Graduation weekends and the first wedding bookings arrive now, so I price those Saturdays individually and keep the rest of spring flexible with two-night weekends only.
Every weekend here has a reason: regattas, the Hall of Fame Open, Folk, Jazz and weddings. I map each one and protect Saturday nights from single-night bookings.
The International Boat Show and autumn weddings keep weekends close to summer levels, so I only soften midweek and let weekend demand prove itself before cutting.
Christmas in Newport and the mansions dressed for the holidays bring couples on short breaks; I price December weekends above November and hold New Year's Eve firmly.
Price Newport Folk and Jazz festival weekends as top premiums with minimum stays.
Add sailing regattas and popular wedding weekends as date premiums.
Use 2-night weekend minimums from June to September.
Offer monthly stays from January to March.
Keep state registration current.
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.

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!
