Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Zaragoza, Spain, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Zaragoza, I price Fiestas del Pilar (around 12 October) as the peak and January and July and August as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue.

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Zaragoza: Fiestas del Pilar; Basilica del Pilar pilgrimage; AVE high-speed business travel; Aljaferia palace. Guests I price for: domestic Spanish visitors and business travellers on 1 to 3 night stays in the Casco Historico near the Basilica. Where I start: a single dominant October festival peak, midweek AVE business demand between Madrid and Barcelona, and Aragon VUT registration for holiday lets.
My hotel years taught me that a city like this lives on corporate accounts and one big festival. For Zaragoza hotels I review negotiated rates with companies on the Madrid and Barcelona corridor, fence Pilar inventory properly, and choose a comp set by distance from the Basilica and the station.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Zaragoza.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Zaragoza has one dominant week, the Fiestas del Pilar in October, and steady AVE business travel between Madrid and Barcelona the rest of the year. Most guests are Spanish and stay briefly. I price Pilar firmly and keep midweeks tuned for business.”

After Reyes the city goes quiet, so I protect a modest floor, open single nights freely and lean on hospital, university and trade-fair visitors rather than chasing leisure guests who are simply not coming.
Semana Santa processions and the drum tradition lift Easter, and spring weekends sell to Spanish couples. I price those weekends up and keep Monday to Thursday tied to train-borne business demand.
The heat empties the old town, so I shorten minimum stays, accept one-night bookings and target families breaking a long drive to the coast or the Pyrenees.
Business travel returns after the holidays and conferences pick up, so I firm weekday rates again and keep the week before Pilar clear of cheap long stays that would block the festival.
The Ofrenda de Flores and the full festival week sit on their own calendar block, with a minimum stay, no last-minute discount and a check that cleaning crews are booked well ahead.
I use Christmas lights weekends, the Puente de la Constitucion and the December holidays as small weekend lifts, while keeping weekday rates realistic for corporate travellers.
Price Fiestas del Pilar week as the top band with minimum stays.
Set midweek business rates for AVE travellers.
Price Casco Histórico homes near the Basilica higher.
Allow short stays outside Pilar.
Lower July, August and January floors.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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!

Busiest in Zaragoza: October for the Fiestas del Pilar, plus spring city-break weeks. Fiestas del Pilar (around 12 October): The Ofrenda de Flores and the full festival week sit on their own calendar block, with a minimum stay, no last-minute discount and a check that cleaning crews are booked well ahead. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How the listing describes walking time to the Basilica and to Delicias station, since both pilgrims and AVE business guests decide on those two distances before they look at price.
Price Casco Histórico homes near the Basilica higher. Next: lower July, August and January floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Zaragoza property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Zaragoza: July and August heat and a quiet January. September and early October: Business travel returns after the holidays and conferences pick up, so I firm weekday rates again and keep the week before Pilar clear of cheap long stays that would block the festival. November and December: I use Christmas lights weekends, the Puente de la Constitucion and the December holidays as small weekend lifts, while keeping weekday rates realistic for corporate travellers.
Business midweeks ignored and summer priced like spring. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Zaragoza, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Zaragoza, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Zaragoza sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. January: After Reyes the city goes quiet, so I protect a modest floor, open single nights freely and lean on hospital, university and trade-fair visitors rather than chasing leisure guests who are simply not coming.
El Tubo and the Casco Historico: Tapas lanes beside the Plaza del Pilar make this the festival address; I build the highest Pilar premium here and accept noisier nights in the listing description. Delicias and Romareda and the university area get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Aljaferia palace, Fiestas del Pilar and Basilica del Pilar pilgrimage are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Zaragoza. September and early October: Business travel returns after the holidays and conferences pick up, so I firm weekday rates again and keep the week before Pilar clear of cheap long stays that would block the festival.
