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 São Paulo. São Paulo is Latin America's business capital. Weekdays are corporate, and weekends depend on events like the Grand Prix, Lollapalooza and big concerts. January and July are quieter as locals travel. The city is huge, so short travel times to business districts or event venues are often the deciding factor for guests and should be reflected in price. I keep weekend event pricing separate so corporate rates do not undersell concert and race weekends.
For a São Paulo apartment I measure commute times to the business hubs, check building rules and see how weekdays and weekends are priced against each other. Then we plan around fairs, stadium concerts, the Grand Prix and the empty Januarys and Julys, with a target for each.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in São Paulo.
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.
Paulistanos leave for the litoral and offices slow, so I lower floors, accept shorter stays and court tourists and relocating families on monthly terms.
Street Carnival now fills whole neighbourhoods and Lollapalooza takes over Interlagos, so I price those weekends as events and restore the corporate rate card the moment offices reopen.
Trade fairs at São Paulo Expo, Anhembi and Expo Center Norte fill weekdays, so I track the fair calendar and add a premium for any homes with easy access.
School holidays thin corporate travel, so I ease floors gently, open shorter leisure stays and keep a monthly offer ready for project workers.
This is the busiest business stretch, with Fashion Week, the Bienal in Ibirapuera and the Grand Prix at Interlagos in November. I hold weekday rates and lift event weeks.

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 the listing can issue a nota fiscal or invoice and shows a proper desk, since many business guests cannot expense a stay without that paperwork.
Busiest in São Paulo: Business-travel weeks, Formula 1 in November, Carnival, and Lollapalooza Brazil in March. February to March: Street Carnival now fills whole neighbourhoods and Lollapalooza takes over Interlagos, so I price those weekends as events and restore the corporate rate card the moment offices reopen. August to December: This is the busiest business stretch, with Fashion Week, the Bienal in Ibirapuera and the Grand Prix at Interlagos in November. I hold weekday rates and lift event weeks. 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.
Corporate midweek rate cards and event premiums. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the São Paulo calendar before I make it. July: School holidays thin corporate travel, so I ease floors gently, open shorter leisure stays and keep a monthly offer ready for project workers.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In São Paulo the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price the São Paulo Grand Prix and big concerts. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

Avenida Paulista and Consolação: Museums, offices and two metro lines make demand mixed all week, so I keep one steady rate and adjust mainly for big events at the avenue. Vila Madalena and Brooklin and Berrini get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of São Paulo, not the market average.
