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 Reims: Champagne house cellar tours; Reims Cathedral; the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay; the vendanges grape harvest. Guests I price for: wine tourists and couples on 2 to 3 night stays in central Reims and along Epernay's Avenue de Champagne. Where I start: harvest-season and festive premiums around the Champagne houses, fast TGV weekend demand from Paris, and French registration for the vineyard villages.
With a decade spent in five-star hotels before I moved into consulting, I help Reims and Epernay hotels balance wine trade, coach tours and leisure couples, set fences for harvest and December, and choose competitors by proximity to the Champagne houses rather than by city averages.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Reims.
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.
“Reims and Champagne are wine-tourism markets with fast TGV access from Paris. Harvest in September and October, spring and Epernay's Habits de Lumière in December are the peaks. Most guests stay two or three nights. I price harvest and festive weekends and keep midweek competitive.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I keep Reims open for business visitors and occasional weekenders from Paris at a sensible floor, rather than discounting heavily for very little extra demand.
Spring cellar visits and the Joan of Arc celebrations in Reims bring weekend crowds, so I firm up Saturdays and keep two-night stays for touring couples.
Summer brings international tourists but fewer wine trade visitors, so I price steadily and welcome longer stays in the vineyard villages.
Picking season fills the villages and Epernay, and I hold weekend rates firm while offering the best value on weekdays to keep the calendar full.
December lights in Epernay and festive champagne tastings draw visitors, so I price December weekends above November and protect the Christmas week.
Price harvest weekends as the top band.
Add Habits de Lumière in December.

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 |
|---|---|---|

| 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.

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 Reims: September to October for the grape harvest, May to June, and December for the Habits de Lumiere in Epernay. March to June: Spring cellar visits and the Joan of Arc celebrations in Reims bring weekend crowds, so I firm up Saturdays and keep two-night stays for touring couples. September and October: Picking season fills the villages and Epernay, and I hold weekend rates firm while offering the best value on weekdays to keep the calendar full. 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 listing explains the TGV link and parking, because Paris visitors arriving by train choose differently from touring guests arriving by car.
Use 2-night weekend minimums. Next: display registration numbers. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Reims 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 Reims: January and February. July and August: Summer brings international tourists but fewer wine trade visitors, so I price steadily and welcome longer stays in the vineyard villages. January and February: I keep Reims open for business visitors and occasional weekenders from Paris at a sensible floor, rather than discounting heavily for very little extra demand.
December event ignored and midweek priced like weekends. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Reims, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Reims, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Reims sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to June: Spring cellar visits and the Joan of Arc celebrations in Reims bring weekend crowds, so I firm up Saturdays and keep two-night stays for touring couples.
Reims centre: Near the cathedral and the Champagne houses, this is the most flexible base; I price weekends firmly and use weekdays for business visitors. Epernay and the Avenue de Champagne and Hautvillers and the Montagne de Reims 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.
the vendanges grape harvest, Champagne house cellar tours and Reims Cathedral are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Reims. November and December: December lights in Epernay and festive champagne tastings draw visitors, so I price December weekends above November and protect the Christmas week.
