Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Seattle, United States, one to one, remotely and in Pacific Time (UTC-8). In Seattle, I price June to August as the peak and January to February and October to December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

An audit with a strategy roadmap is a single project fee, usually delivered in four to eight weeks.

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 Seattle. Seattle has a short, intense summer and a long grey season. Alaska cruises from May to September create a very specific product, one or two nights before sailing, that many hosts ignore because their minimum stay blocks it. The city also limits how many units one operator can license, so I focus on getting the most out of each licensed unit rather than chasing volume.
For Seattle owners I review your licence and how many units you can operate, then plan the summer around cruise departures, events and families. I set winter floors, corporate pricing and short pre-cruise stays, and explain how each part of the calendar fits so you can manage the year with confidence.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Seattle.
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.

Rain and short days keep leisure quiet, so I price for corporate stays near South Lake Union and the hospitals on First Hill, with weekly rates doing most of the work.
Emerald City Comic Con at the convention centre and cherry blossoms at the University of Washington give me early-spring dates to lift before cruise season arrives.
The first Alaska sailings leave from Pier 91 and Pier 66, and UW commencement follows, so I open short pre-cruise stays and lift graduation weekends near campus.
Cruise weekends, Seafair with the Blue Angels and Capitol Hill Block Party all land here; I price Saturdays and Sundays highest and keep weekday rates strong for families.
PAX West and Bumbershoot over Labor Day, plus the last cruise departures and usually dry weather, make September worth pricing almost like summer.
The grey season returns; I protect holiday weekends and Seahawks home dates, then lean on corporate and medical stays with weekly discounts.
Accept 1 and 2-night stays before major cruise departure days and price them above a normal weeknight.
Set June to September as the main season, with Seafair and big concert weekends priced individually.
Use midweek corporate pricing for homes near South Lake Union and the Eastside commute.
From November to February, lower floors, add weekly discounts and keep weekend minimums short.
Add Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken home dates for homes within walking distance of the stadiums.
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!
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. How easily cruise guests reach Pier 91 or Pier 66 with luggage, since a short taxi ride and early check-in options win the pre-cruise booking.
Busiest in Seattle: June to September, with Alaska cruise departures, Seafair and Bumbershoot. September: PAX West and Bumbershoot over Labor Day, plus the last cruise departures and usually dry weather, make September worth pricing almost like summer. May: The first Alaska sailings leave from Pier 91 and Pier 66, and UW commencement follows, so I open short pre-cruise stays and lift graduation weekends near campus. 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 sharp summer peak with pre-cruise night pricing, winter floors with longer minimum stays, and licence-compliant listing limits. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Seattle calendar before I make it. June to August: Cruise weekends, Seafair with the Blue Angels and Capitol Hill Block Party all land here; I price Saturdays and Sundays highest and keep weekday rates strong for families.
Alaska cruises from May to September create a very specific product, one or two nights before sailing, that many hosts ignore because their minimum stay blocks it. The city also limits how many units one operator can license, so I focus on getting the most out of each licensed unit rather than chasing volume. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Seattle.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Seattle the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: set June to September as the main season, with Seafair and big concert weekends priced individually. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Seattle sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to April: Emerald City Comic Con at the convention centre and cherry blossoms at the University of Washington give me early-spring dates to lift before cruise season arrives.

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 Seattle, not the city. Use midweek corporate pricing for homes near South Lake Union and the Eastside commute. Next: add Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken home dates for homes within walking distance of the stadiums.
Pioneer Square and SoDo: Next to Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park; I price game days and concerts highest and keep weekdays for business travellers. Queen Anne and Magnolia and Fremont and Wallingford get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Seattle, not the market average.
