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 Stockholm. Stockholm is summer, Midsummer and Nobel week, with corporate travel in between. Many apartments are in housing associations that must approve subletting, which is the first thing to check. Winter is dark and quiet. Guests are often business travellers during the week and couples at the weekend, and the archipelago pulls leisure demand out of the city in high summer, which is worth pricing for.
In Stockholm I check the housing association approval before anything else, then plan a year around summer, the December run of Lucia and Nobel, and corporate travel in between. We set rules for July, when the city changes character, and a winter plan that keeps the flat earning when tourists are few.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Stockholm.
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.
Daylight is short and leisure travel thin, so I rely on corporate guests in Kista and the city centre, offer weekly stays and keep weekend rates close to the floor.
Cruise calls begin and spring conferences fill Stockholmsmassan, so I lift weekday rates for fair dates and let weekends climb as the evenings lengthen.
With white nights, Midsummer and cruise passengers, I hold firm rates and longer stays in Sodermalm and Gamla Stan, remembering that many locals leave for the archipelago in July.
Tech and gaming business travel returns, so I move the weight back to Monday to Thursday and keep weekends attractive for European city-breakers with modest pricing.
Lucia, Christmas markets at Skansen and in Gamla Stan, and Nobel week each get their own rate; I avoid discounting the quiet days between Christmas and New Year too early.
Confirm housing association approval before listing.
Price Midsummer and summer archipelago season as the main peak.
Add Nobel week in December as a premium.
Set weekday corporate rates.
Lower January to March floors.
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 the listing shows the nearest tunnelbana station and the walk to it, since Stockholm guests compare islands and metro lines before they compare price.
Busiest in Stockholm: June to August, Midsummer, and the run-up to Christmas and Nobel week in December. June to August: With white nights, Midsummer and cruise passengers, I hold firm rates and longer stays in Sodermalm and Gamla Stan, remembering that many locals leave for the archipelago in July. December: Lucia, Christmas markets at Skansen and in Gamla Stan, and Nobel week each get their own rate; I avoid discounting the quiet days between Christmas and New Year too early. 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.
Summer premiums, corporate midweek strategies, and compliance with housing-association rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Stockholm calendar before I make it. September to November: Tech and gaming business travel returns, so I move the weight back to Monday to Thursday and keep weekends attractive for European city-breakers with modest pricing.
Stockholm is summer, Midsummer and Nobel week, with corporate travel in between. Many apartments are in housing associations that must approve subletting, which is the first thing to check. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Stockholm.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Stockholm the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Midsummer and summer archipelago season as the main peak. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Stockholm sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. June to August: With white nights, Midsummer and cruise passengers, I hold firm rates and longer stays in Sodermalm and Gamla Stan, remembering that many locals leave for the archipelago in July. For hotel revenue management consulting in Stockholm, 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 Stockholm, not the city. Add Nobel week in December as a premium. Next: lower January to March floors.
Kungsholmen: Close to City Hall and the Nobel banquet venue, residential and calm; I price it for longer business stays and give it a December lift. Sodermalm (SoFo) and Ostermalm get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Stockholm, not the market average.
For hotel revenue management consulting, consulting gives you an independent view and a plan your own team can run, without handing the daily decisions to anyone. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Stockholm and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: add Nobel week in December as a premium.
