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 Rome. Rome looks like an all-year city, but its calendar is shaped by Easter, papal events and a mid-August exodus that surprises owners. Since 2025 every Italian rental also needs its national CIN code on listings, and identity checks for guests are taken seriously. I price Holy Week and spring firmly, and set August for international guests only.
For a Rome owner I look at which events your district actually captures, from Vatican ceremonies to stadium weekends and big conferences, then build a calendar that does not lean on summer alone. I also check the CIN, tourist tax and guest reporting set-up before touching rates.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Rome.
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.
Winter is quiet outside Six Nations rugby weekends at the Stadio Olimpico, so I price those Saturdays on their own and keep weekday floors gentle without slashing them.
The Rome Marathon, Easter, the birthday of Rome on 21 April and the Internazionali tennis in May stack up, so I load each event early and hold three-night minimums.
Summer brings long-haul visitors and the Saints Peter and Paul feast on 29 June, but heat slows short breaks, so I keep rates firm on weekends and loosen midweek stays.
Around Ferragosto many Romans leave and some restaurants close, so I price for international guests only and avoid long minimums that block late bookings.
Autumn conferences at La Nuvola and the Rome Film Fest keep demand firm, so I hold September and October, ease November, and price Christmas to Epiphany as its own band.
Price Holy Week and Easter as the top spring band with 3-night minimums.
Price April to June and September to October as main seasons.
Set mid-August pricing for international demand, not assumed peak summer.
Price Centro Storico, Trastevere and Prati on separate comps.
Display the CIN code and set a compliant guest check-in process.
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!

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. Whether the guest identification and Questura reporting process is set up properly before arrival, since Italy treats this seriously and a rushed check-in creates both legal and review problems.
Busiest in Rome: April to June and September to October, Easter week, and Christmas through Epiphany. September to December: Autumn conferences at La Nuvola and the Rome Film Fest keep demand firm, so I hold September and October, ease November, and price Christmas to Epiphany as its own band. March to June: The Rome Marathon, Easter, the birthday of Rome on 21 April and the Internazionali tennis in May stack up, so I load each event early and hold three-night minimums. 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.
Easter and Holy Week premiums, high-season minimum stays, and August pricing that reflects the local exodus rather than assumed summer demand. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Rome calendar before I make it. Mid-August: Around Ferragosto many Romans leave and some restaurants close, so I price for international guests only and avoid long minimums that block late bookings.
Since 2025 every Italian rental also needs its national CIN code on listings, and identity checks for guests are taken seriously. I price Holy Week and spring firmly, and set August for international guests only. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Rome.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Rome the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price April to June and September to October as main seasons. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Rome sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. July to mid-August: Summer brings long-haul visitors and the Saints Peter and Paul feast on 29 June, but heat slows short breaks, so I keep rates firm on weekends and loosen midweek stays. For hotel revenue management consulting in Rome, 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 Rome, not the city. Set mid-August pricing for international demand, not assumed peak summer. Next: display the CIN code and set a compliant guest check-in process.
Testaccio and Ostiense: Food markets and local nightlife south of the centre; I price them below the historic core and target repeat visitors and longer stays. Monti and Esquilino and Prati and Borgo get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Rome, not the market average.
