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 Oslo. Oslo has a short summer peak, a Christmas season and Holmenkollen in March. Norway also limits short-term letting of some property types to 90 days a year, so nights must go to the best dates. Business travel supports weekdays. Prices in Norway are high for guests, so value matters. A well-equipped flat with a kitchen competes strongly against hotels, especially for families and longer stays.
For Oslo owners I first confirm whether the 90-day limit applies to the building, then decide which dates deserve those days. From there I set clear plans for summer, December, Holmenkollen and the business weekdays, with floors that protect value in an expensive city where guests compare carefully.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Oslo.
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.
Weekday business and occasional winter sport visitors are my focus here, so I hold a fair floor and avoid spending limited rental days on cheap weekends.
The Holmenkollen Ski Festival weekend brings a sharp lift, so I price it as an event with a two-night minimum and keep the rest of March close to business rates.
Spring city breaks and the 17 May national day give me a few strong dates; I price Constitution Day as its own short event and keep other weekends realistic.
Long days, the fjord, cruise calls, Norway Cup and Øya festival in August make this my main season; I keep rates firm and use limited days here first.
Conferences and business travel return, so I strengthen weekday rates and let weekend prices follow what is actually booking rather than summer expectations.
Christmas markets and the Nobel Peace Prize events around 10 December lift demand, so I price December weekends and that week above the November base.
Plan the 90-day limit around summer and Christmas.
Price Holmenkollen Ski Festival weekend as a premium.
Set weekday business rates.
Allow short stays on cruise days.
Lower November and January to February floors.
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. 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 the price compares with hotels near Oslo S and Aker Brygge after cleaning fees, since guests in an expensive city compare the total cost very carefully.
Busiest in Oslo: June to August and the Christmas season, plus Holmenkollen ski events in March. Late November to December: Christmas markets and the Nobel Peace Prize events around 10 December lift demand, so I price December weekends and that week above the November base. March: The Holmenkollen Ski Festival weekend brings a sharp lift, so I price it as an event with a two-night minimum and keep the rest of March close to business rates. 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.
Summer premiums within Norway's 90-day short-term rental limit, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Oslo calendar before I make it. June to August: Long days, the fjord, cruise calls, Norway Cup and Øya festival in August make this my main season; I keep rates firm and use limited days here first.
A well-equipped flat with a kitchen competes strongly against hotels, especially for families and longer stays. Oslo has a short summer peak, a Christmas season and Holmenkollen in March. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Oslo.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Oslo the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Holmenkollen Ski Festival weekend as a premium. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Oslo sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. March: The Holmenkollen Ski Festival weekend brings a sharp lift, so I price it as an event with a two-night minimum and keep the rest of March close to business rates. For hotel revenue management consulting in Oslo, 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 Oslo, not the city. Set weekday business rates. Next: lower November and January to February floors.
Frogner and Majorstuen: Elegant residential streets near Vigeland Park suit families and longer business visits, so I build weekly rates and price for comfort rather than nightlife. Grünerløkka and Bjørvika and Sørenga get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Oslo, not the market average.
