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 St. Moritz. St. Moritz is a luxury winter market with marquee events: White Turf on the frozen lake in February, snow polo and the Engadin Skimarathon. Affluent guests book long chalet stays, and summer is a real second season. Pricing has to match the luxury positioning.
For an Engadin owner I review whether the property is allowed to be let, then build pricing around the holiday fortnight, the winter event calendar and the summer season. We agree on how to protect positioning in the quiet months, which events earn a premium, and the service level that justifies the price.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in St. Moritz.
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 holiday fortnight sells first and at the highest rate. I hold weekly stays for chalets and stop any discounting, even if dates look open in early December.
Snow Polo, the Gourmet Festival and the three White Turf Sundays keep weekends strong; I price each event weekend individually and keep midweek nights firm for longer ski stays.
The Engadin Skimarathon weekend and spring skiing on Corvatsch bring long stays. I price the marathon weekend above the rest of March and ease rates after Easter.
Many hotels and shops close, so I keep a dignified floor, accept longer stays and avoid heavy discounts that clash with luxury positioning.
Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well.
The valley shuts down, so I keep floors steady and focus on long stays and repeat guests rather than chasing short bookings.
Price White Turf and snow polo weekends as premiums.
Price Christmas to New Year as the top band.
Use long stays for chalets.
Build a summer hiking and wellness season.
Include local tourist tax.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |
| Implementation support | Setup in your systems and team training | Quoted |

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 presents service: ski room, transfers from Samedan airport and concierge help, since St. Moritz guests often value those more than an extra bedroom.
Busiest in St. Moritz: December to March for luxury skiing and the frozen-lake events, with a July and August alpine summer second season. March to Easter: The Engadin Skimarathon weekend and spring skiing on Corvatsch bring long stays. I price the marathon weekend above the rest of March and ease rates after Easter. July to September: Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well. 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.
Pricing a premium luxury market where winter and marquee events command the highest rates, sustaining a real summer season, and observing Lex Koller ownership limits and local tourist tax. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the St. Moritz calendar before I make it. April to June: Many hotels and shops close, so I keep a dignified floor, accept longer stays and avoid heavy discounts that clash with luxury positioning.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In St. Moritz the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Christmas to New Year as the top band. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
St. Moritz sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia.

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 St. Moritz, not the city. Use long stays for chalets. Next: include local tourist tax.
Celerina and Samedan: Near the Cresta Run, the airport and the Inn valley, I price slightly below the centre and sell longer stays for winter and summer. St. Moritz Dorf and Pontresina get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of St. Moritz, not the market average.
