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 Newport: Newport Folk and Jazz festivals; Mansions and sailing season; Wedding season; Boston and New York weekend travel. Guests I price for: Northeastern couples and groups on 2 to 4 night stays, wedding parties. Where I start: Festival and wedding premiums with minimum stays, and off-season floors.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Newport inns and boutique hotels manage wedding room blocks, attrition clauses and release dates, so blocks do not tie up rooms that could sell at higher rates on festival weekends. I also review how midweek corporate and sailing-industry business is segmented.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Newport.
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.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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 Newport: June to September, with the Newport Folk and Jazz festivals in July and August and sailing regattas. June to August: 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. September to October: 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. 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 many guests the home really sleeps for a wedding party, since bridal groups compare bed counts and parking before rate, and parking is scarce near Thames Street.
Use 2-night weekend minimums from June to September. Next: keep state registration current. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Newport 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 Newport: January to March. January to March: 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. April to May: 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.
Wedding weekends sold as single nights and winter priced like spring. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Newport, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Newport, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Newport sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April to May: 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.
The Point and Historic Hill: Colonial streets close to the harbour draw couples on festival weekends; I price walkability to Thames Street and the waterfront as the main selling point over interior size. Bellevue Avenue and the Ocean Drive area and Middletown and Portsmouth 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.
Boston and New York weekend travel, Newport Folk and Jazz festivals and Mansions and sailing season are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Newport. November to December: 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.
