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 Whitefish. Whitefish and Flathead Lake combine Glacier National Park summers, lake weeks and a real ski season. Summer guests plan early for Glacier, lake homes sell weekly stays and Whitefish Mountain Resort fills winter. Winter Carnival adds a February spike. Each area needs its own comps, because a lakefront home on Flathead and a condo near the ski resort are not competing for the same guest or the same week.
For a Whitefish or Flathead owner I review which demand the home really serves, Glacier, ski or lake, then rebuild summer pricing, ski holidays and mud-season monthly offers. We agree on minimum stays and seasonal floors together so the home earns well across both peaks.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Whitefish.
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.

Whitefish Mountain Resort ski weeks and the Winter Carnival in February carry winter; I price holiday weeks highest and protect Saturdays with minimum stays.
Shoulder season closes the ski hill and Going-to-the-Sun Road; I offer monthly stays and modest nightly rates for travellers passing through.
Glacier National Park visitors and lake families fill the valley; I price summer early, use three-night minimums and keep lake homes on weekly stays.
Fewer crowds at Glacier and autumn colour bring couples; I lower minimum stays and price weekends above weekdays.
Between seasons I lower floors, allow short stays and start selling ski holiday weeks early.
Price June to August for Glacier visitors, opened early.
Run Flathead Lake homes on weekly summer stays.
Price ski holidays and Winter Carnival weekend.
Use 3-night minimums in peak summer.
Lower mud-season 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.

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 close it is to Glacier's west entrance, the ski hill or Flathead Lake, since each location draws a different guest and supports a different price.
Busiest in Whitefish: June to August for Glacier and the lake, and December to March for the resort, with Winter Carnival in February. December to March: Whitefish Mountain Resort ski weeks and the Winter Carnival in February carry winter; I price holiday weeks highest and protect Saturdays with minimum stays. June to August: Glacier National Park visitors and lake families fill the valley; I price summer early, use three-night minimums and keep lake homes on weekly stays. 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.
Dual summer-park and winter-ski peaks bridged by Flathead Lake demand, weekend and holiday minimums, and mud-season monthly pricing. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Whitefish calendar before I make it. September to October: Fewer crowds at Glacier and autumn colour bring couples; I lower minimum stays and price weekends above weekdays.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

West Glacier and Columbia Falls: Closest to the park entrance; I price summer highest for Glacier visitors and offer shorter stays in spring and autumn.
