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 Scottsdale. Scottsdale has one of the steepest seasonal curves I work with. A pool home can earn several times more per night in February than in July, and snowbirds booking 4 to 8 weeks bring a different kind of revenue from golf groups and bachelorettes. The strategy is about protecting winter from being cut into short, low-value stays, while giving summer a floor that still covers costs.
For Scottsdale and Phoenix owners I check your licences, then build a winter plan around the biggest events and a summer plan that covers your costs. I decide how much to sell to snowbirds and how much to keep for event weeks, and explain how pool and location change your premiums.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Scottsdale.
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.

Barrett-Jackson at WestWorld, the WM Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Cactus League games stack up, so I price each event week individually and protect weekends for groups.
Spring Training ends, but golf and pool weather stay strong; I keep weekend rates near peak and begin offering midweek specials for late-season visitors.
Heat returns, snowbirds leave and I shorten minimums, offering weekly stays and promoting pools and shade to Arizona and California drive-in guests.
Extreme heat brings local staycations and resort-style weekends; I price weekends for Phoenix residents and keep weekday floors that cover cooling and pool costs.
Cooler weather returns, NASCAR at Phoenix Raceway brings a November spike and holidays lift late December, so I raise weekend rates and open monthly snowbird stays from January.
Price January to April as the main season, with WM Phoenix Open, Spring Training and Barrett-Jackson as their own higher bands.
Offer monthly snowbird rates from November onwards, but only for dates that are unlikely to sell as higher-value short stays.
Protect Old Town weekends with 2-night minimums and group pricing, and keep them separate from quieter residential homes.
Set a summer floor based on real costs, including higher power bills for pools and air conditioning, and pair it with weekly discounts.
Start event pricing about 90 days before Spring Training and the Phoenix Open instead of reacting in the final weeks.
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.

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 pool is heated, shaded and described, since winter guests expect heated pools and summer guests want shade and cooling, and both affect pricing.
Busiest in Scottsdale: January to April, with Spring Training, the Waste Management Phoenix Open and Barrett-Jackson driving the highest rates. January to March: Barrett-Jackson at WestWorld, the WM Phoenix Open, the Arabian Horse Show and Cactus League games stack up, so I price each event week individually and protect weekends for groups. April: Spring Training ends, but golf and pool weather stay strong; I keep weekend rates near peak and begin offering midweek specials for late-season visitors. 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.
A steep winter-to-summer seasonal spread, monthly snowbird rate cards, and event premiums that begin 90 days out for pool homes. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Scottsdale calendar before I make it. June to September: Extreme heat brings local staycations and resort-style weekends; I price weekends for Phoenix residents and keep weekday floors that cover cooling and pool costs.
A pool home can earn several times more per night in February than in July, and snowbirds booking 4 to 8 weeks bring a different kind of revenue from golf groups and bachelorettes. The strategy is about protecting winter from being cut into short, low-value stays, while giving summer a floor that still covers costs. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Scottsdale.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Scottsdale the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: offer monthly snowbird rates from November onwards, but only for dates that are unlikely to sell as higher-value short stays. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Scottsdale sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. May: Heat returns, snowbirds leave and I shorten minimums, offering weekly stays and promoting pools and shade to Arizona and California drive-in guests. For hotel revenue management consulting in Scottsdale, 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 Scottsdale, not the city. Protect Old Town weekends with 2-night minimums and group pricing, and keep them separate from quieter residential homes. Next: start event pricing about 90 days before Spring Training and the Phoenix Open instead of reacting in the final weeks.
Arcadia and Tempe: Phoenix-side homes near Camelback and Arizona State University; I price them for families, university visitors and Spring Training at Tempe Diablo Stadium. Old Town Scottsdale and North Scottsdale and DC Ranch get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Scottsdale, not the market average.
