Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Oslo, Norway, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1).

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 Oslo: Summer fjord season; Holmenkollen Ski Festival; Cruise calls and Nordic business travel; Christmas markets. Guests I price for: European and North American leisure travellers on 2 to 4 night stays, business travellers midweek. Where I start: Summer premiums within Norway's 90-day short-term rental limit, and winter floors.
From my years in five-star hotels I help Oslo properties manage the mix of corporate, government, conference and leisure demand. That means negotiated rates for Nordic business accounts, clear fences around summer and December, and a comp set chosen by district and guest type rather than by star rating alone.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Oslo.
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.
“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.”

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.
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 |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.

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 Oslo: June to August and the Christmas season, plus Holmenkollen ski events in March. 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. 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. 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 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.
Set weekday business rates. Next: lower November and January to February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Oslo 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 Oslo: November and January to February. January and February: 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. April to May: 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.
Holmenkollen ignored and winter priced like summer. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Oslo, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Oslo, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Oslo sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. January and February: 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.
Grünerløkka: Cafes, parks and nightlife make it popular with younger travellers and weekend visitors, so I price weekends firmly and offer slightly lower rates midweek. Bjørvika and Sørenga and Frogner and Majorstuen 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.
Christmas markets, Summer fjord season and Holmenkollen Ski Festival are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Oslo. 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.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Oslo and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Holmenkollen Ski Festival weekend as a premium.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Oslo I would start from 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.
