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 Santiago. Santiago has summer, ski season and business travel. Brazilians and Argentines ski nearby in winter, wine valleys attract visitors and mining and corporate travel fills weekdays. Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are summer coast markets. Winter ski visitors and summer beach visitors want different locations, so homes near the road to the mountains and homes near the coast need separate strategies.
For a Santiago or coastal property I review which season it really serves, how close it sits to the ski road or the beach and how midweek business is priced. Then I build a dual-season plan with event premiums for Lollapalooza, Viña and the national holidays, plus firm shoulder floors.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Santiago.
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 New Year fireworks over Valparaíso bay and the Viña del Mar festival in February drive the coast, so I price those nights as premiums while Santiago weekdays stay corporate.
Lollapalooza Chile and the harvest festivals in the wine valleys lift March and April weekends; I price those higher and keep weekday rates steady through May.
Ski season draws Brazilians and Argentines to Valle Nevado, La Parva and El Colorado, so I price homes on the eastern side toward the mountain road higher and hold winter weekends firm.
Around the eighteenth Chileans travel for the national holidays, so I raise coastal homes, set short minimums and keep Santiago rates competitive for visitors.
Spring brings steady business travel and wine visits, so I hold corporate rates in the city and gradually build the coast calendar toward summer.

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.

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!
Airbnb host
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 mining and corporate guests can get an invoice and a proper workspace, because they often book midweek for several nights and will not compromise on those basics.
Busiest in Santiago: December to February summer, Lollapalooza Chile in March, and ski season from June to September. Fiestas Patrias in September: Around the eighteenth Chileans travel for the national holidays, so I raise coastal homes, set short minimums and keep Santiago rates competitive for visitors. December to February: The New Year fireworks over Valparaíso bay and the Viña del Mar festival in February drive the coast, so I price those nights as premiums while Santiago weekdays stay corporate. 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.
