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 Palm Springs. Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley are winter and festival markets, with a summer that punishes anyone who does not plan for it. Coachella and Stagecoach can earn more over a few weekends than some months, and each city in the valley has its own permit rules, including limits on how often a home can be rented. That means every booking slot has a value, and I price accordingly.
For a Palm Springs or Coachella Valley owner, I check the city permit rules first, then review how the home competes for festivals, events and winter. You get a calendar that balances event weekends, snowbird months and summer floors, with each limited booking slot valued properly.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Palm Springs.
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.
The film festival, Modernism Week and the BNP Paribas Open stack up; I price each event as its own premium and use monthly snowbird rates only where they beat short stays under the permit.
Coachella and Stagecoach weekends top the year; I set group pricing by guest count and strict full-weekend minimums, opened as soon as festival dates are announced.
Heat builds and demand fades; I shorten minimum stays and price weekends for Los Angeles groups still chasing pool time.
Extreme heat keeps visitors away, so I set floors that cover cooling costs and avoid spending a limited yearly contract allowance on low-value stays.
Palm Springs Pride in November, Thanksgiving and the holidays bring strong demand; I price those dates as premiums and keep weekends firm.
Price both Coachella weekends and Stagecoach as the top bands, with strict minimum stays and group pricing.
Add Modernism Week and the BNP Paribas Open as separate premiums.
Offer monthly snowbird rates for January to March where they beat short-stay revenue.
Where the city limits the number of rentals per year, favour higher-value bookings over many short ones.
Set summer floors that cover pool and air-conditioning costs and add weekly discounts.
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.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan.

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 pool, shade and cooling are presented, since summer guests worry about heat and winter snowbirds about comfort over long stays.
Busiest in Palm Springs: January to April, with Coachella and Stagecoach in April, Modernism Week in February and the BNP Paribas Open in March. October to December: Palm Springs Pride in November, Thanksgiving and the holidays bring strong demand; I price those dates as premiums and keep weekends firm. January to March: The film festival, Modernism Week and the BNP Paribas Open stack up; I price each event as its own premium and use monthly snowbird rates only where they beat short stays under the permit.

Festival premiums with strict minimums, monthly winter rate cards, summer floors, and city-by-city STR permit compliance across the valley. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Palm Springs calendar before I make it. June to September: Extreme heat keeps visitors away, so I set floors that cover cooling costs and avoid spending a limited yearly contract allowance on low-value stays.
Coachella and Stagecoach can earn more over a few weekends than some months, and each city in the valley has its own permit rules, including limits on how often a home can be rented.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
