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 Santa Fe. Santa Fe and Taos are cultural markets with a few very strong weeks. Indian Market, Spanish Market and opera season drive summer, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta spills over in October, and Taos Ski Valley adds winter demand. Santa Fe caps non-owner-occupied permits, so permitted homes are valuable and each peak week should be priced with care.
For Santa Fe and Taos owners I confirm the permit situation, then build a calendar around your town's real peaks: markets and opera in Santa Fe, skiing and summer in Taos. I set event bands, minimums and shoulder pricing and explain how each choice protects your best weeks.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Santa Fe.
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.

Santa Fe goes quiet, so I protect the floor and offer weekly rates, while Taos Ski Valley homes carry strong ski weekends and Presidents' week.
Spring skiing in Taos runs into early April, then both towns soften; I shorten minimums, target road-trippers and lift only graduation and Easter weekends.
Opera season, the International Folk Art Market, Spanish Market and Indian Market follow each other, so I price each market weekend as its own band above ordinary summer nights.
Zozobra and the Fiestas de Santa Fe open September, aspens turn gold and the Balloon Fiesta follows, so I keep autumn weekends close to summer rates.
Before the holidays, I price for cultural travellers and early ski weeks in Taos and keep weekday rates modest to fill gaps.
The Canyon Road Farolito Walk on Christmas Eve and holiday ski weeks in Taos make this a top band, with longer minimums in both towns.
Price Santa Fe Indian Market weekend as the top band with longer minimum stays.
Add Spanish Market and opera nights as summer premiums.
Price Balloon Fiesta week for Santa Fe homes that attract visitors staying outside Albuquerque.
Build a Taos ski season from December to March with holiday premiums.
Confirm permit status before setting stay rules.
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. How the listing describes adobe features, kiva fireplaces and views, because cultural travellers here pay for authentic character more than for extra bedrooms.
Busiest in Santa Fe: July to August (Spanish and Indian Markets, opera season), October (Balloon Fiesta spill-over) and Christmas. Christmas to New Year: The Canyon Road Farolito Walk on Christmas Eve and holiday ski weeks in Taos make this a top band, with longer minimums in both towns. June to August: Opera season, the International Folk Art Market, Spanish Market and Indian Market follow each other, so I price each market weekend as its own band above ordinary summer nights. 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.
Market-week premiums, opera-season rates, and city STR permit compliance. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Santa Fe calendar before I make it. September to October: Zozobra and the Fiestas de Santa Fe open September, aspens turn gold and the Balloon Fiesta follows, so I keep autumn weekends close to summer rates.
Indian Market, Spanish Market and opera season drive summer, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta spills over in October, and Taos Ski Valley adds winter demand. Santa Fe caps non-owner-occupied permits, so permitted homes are valuable and each peak week should be priced with care. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Santa Fe.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Santa Fe the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Spanish Market and opera nights as summer premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Santa Fe sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to May: Spring skiing in Taos runs into early April, then both towns soften; I shorten minimums, target road-trippers and lift only graduation and Easter weekends. For hotel revenue management consulting in Santa Fe, 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 Santa Fe, not the city. Price Balloon Fiesta week for Santa Fe homes that attract visitors staying outside Albuquerque. Next: confirm permit status before setting stay rules.
Taos Ski Valley and Arroyo Seco: Ski-in and mountain homes in one, artist village charm in the other; I price winter highest at the ski valley and summer more evenly in Arroyo Seco. Canyon Road and the Eastside and The Railyard and Downtown Plaza get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Santa Fe, not the market average.
