An independent look at your hotel's revenue, and a plan you can run.I audit how your Orlando hotel prices, restricts, distributes and forecasts its rooms, then give you a ranked roadmap, a 12-month pricing calendar and training for your team. Fixed scope, fixed price, remote in Eastern Time (UTC-5), usually four to eight weeks.
Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Orlando, United States, one to one, remotely and in Eastern Time (UTC-5). In Orlando, I price Mid-February to April, May to mid-August and Mid-November to December as the peak and January to mid-February as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Hotel revenue management consulting is a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement quoted after a free discovery call, based on room count, room types, channels and scope. An audit with a strategy roadmap is a single project fee, usually delivered in four to eight weeks.

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 Orlando. Orlando is a family market that books early and compares hard. Guests search by bedroom count, pool and distance to the parks, and they often have dozens of near-identical homes in the same resort community to choose from. So I spend most of my time on positioning inside that community and on catching the long-lead bookings, because a Kissimmee home that fills its school holidays late has usually left money on the table.
For an Orlando vacation home, I review where it sits in its resort community, how it compares by bedroom count, and how school holidays and events are priced. Then I build a year plan that wins early family bookings and fills shoulder weeks with conventions, competitions and youth sports.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Orlando.
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.
Cheer and dance competitions plus snowbird stays fill some weeks; I price those event dates up and offer longer-stay discounts for the quiet weeks around them.
Spring Break dates vary by school district and by country, so I price each week separately and keep weekend arrivals for families booking complete weeks.
Summer is the core family season; I price each week by pace and avoid early discounting, especially on large homes that multi-family groups book far ahead.
Halloween Horror Nights, EPCOT festivals and conventions support weekends; I lower minimum stays and price midweek to attract couples and adult friend groups.
Thanksgiving week and Christmas to New Year are top family weeks; I open them early as premiums, with week-long minimums only where pace supports it.
Price each bedroom count against its own comps inside the community, Reunion, ChampionsGate, Windsor Hills, and never against the whole Orlando area.
Open school-holiday dates 12 months ahead at full rate. Families lock summer, Christmas and Spring Break long before other markets start booking.
Use 7-night discounts and a Saturday or Sunday check-in preference in peak weeks so the calendar fills in whole weeks rather than broken 3-night blocks.
Add pool-heat and game-room value to the listing and price, because those features, not the location, often decide between two similar homes.
Treat late August to early November as a separate season with lower minimum stays and convention and youth-sports weekends priced up.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |
| Implementation support | Setup in your systems and team training | Quoted |
| Monthly check-ins | Optional review sessions after delivery | Quoted |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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 pool heating, themed bedrooms and game rooms are priced and shown, because families often choose between two near-identical homes on those extras alone.
Busiest in Orlando: School holidays: mid-June to mid-August, Spring Break, Thanksgiving week and the Christmas to New Year period. Mid-November to December: Thanksgiving week and Christmas to New Year are top family weeks; I open them early as premiums, with week-long minimums only where pace supports it. Mid-February to April: Spring Break dates vary by school district and by country, so I price each week separately and keep weekend arrivals for families booking complete weeks. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Long-lead pricing that captures early family bookings, bedroom-count positioning against the huge vacation-home supply, and length-of-stay discounts that win full-week stays. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Orlando calendar before I make it. Late August to mid-November: Halloween Horror Nights, EPCOT festivals and conventions support weekends; I lower minimum stays and price midweek to attract couples and adult friend groups.

That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Orlando.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Orlando the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: open school-holiday dates 12 months ahead at full rate. Families lock summer, Christmas and Spring Break long before other markets start booking. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Orlando sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia, plus vacation-home channel managers. May to mid-August: Summer is the core family season; I price each week by pace and avoid early discounting, especially on large homes that multi-family groups book far ahead. For hotel revenue management consulting in Orlando, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Orlando, not the city. Use 7-night discounts and a Saturday or Sunday check-in preference in peak weeks so the calendar fills in whole weeks rather than broken 3-night blocks. Next: treat late August to early November as a separate season with lower minimum stays and convention and youth-sports weekends priced up.
International Drive and the Universal side: Close to Universal and the Convention Center; I price for conventions and theme-park couples, with shorter stays than the family communities further south. Windsor Hills and Encore and Reunion and ChampionsGate get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Orlando, not the market average.

I have optimized 1,250+ properties in and around Orlando and work remotely in Eastern Time (UTC-5). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: use 7-night discounts and a Saturday or Sunday check-in preference in peak weeks so the calendar fills in whole weeks rather than broken 3-night blocks.
