Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review of how a hotel prices, distributes and forecasts its rooms, followed by the strategy, calendar, reports and training to earn more from the same inventory. Unlike outsourced revenue management, the consultant does not make the daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
Demand drivers in Indiana Dunes: Indiana Dunes National Park beaches; Chicago weekend escapes via the South Shore Line; Michigan City lighthouse and outlets; Blue Chip Casino and lakeshore dining. Typical guests: Chicago families and couples on 2 to 3 night summer weekends. Where the work starts: Summer weekend premiums with 2-night minimums, holiday-week pricing, and winter floors.
Hotels here serve Chicago weekenders, casino visitors at Blue Chip, outlet shoppers and business travel along I-94 and the toll road. Revenue managers should price summer weekends and Notre Dame football weekends as peaks, use corporate and contractor rates for weekdays, and set group rules for weddings and youth sports. The comp set should include Michigan City and Chesterton separately, since beach and casino guests behave differently.
The full service is described on our hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how it applies in Indiana Dunes.
A fixed-scope review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and costs, comp-set positioning, pace and pickup, 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, lead-time and day-of-week rules and restrictions, written as a 12-month pricing calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTA programmes, GDS and corporate, wholesale and bedbanks, metasearch and direct.
Demand forecasts, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and training for your revenue, front office or sales team, plus independent advice on revenue management systems before you sign.
An audit of a Dunes area hotel often finds a comp set made of interstate properties at the Indiana 49 or US 421 exits, with no view of how beach-close inns or the casino hotel price on the same night. Contractor rates negotiated years ago may also block summer weekends. We look at how the property handles Notre Dame home games, holiday weekends and the long lake winter.
The report would open with a corrected comp set by submarket, then a review of every negotiated contractor rate and its blackout dates around summer and football weekends.
Spring birding and early hikes in the national park, with Memorial Day weekend as the first real summer spike. Open summer pricing early.
Beach weekends for Chicago families and couples. Fourth of July week sells first, and Friday and Saturday nights carry most of the season.
The gateway towns for Indiana Dunes State Park and national park trails. Families book here for easy beach access, and the European Market adds summer Saturday demand.

Indiana sales tax applies to short stays, and Porter and LaPorte counties add an innkeeper's tax. Some lakefront communities limit parking, beach access or rental frequency, so confirm the rules for each address before setting minimum stays. For hotel pricing work, occupancy and tourist taxes decide whether rates are shown inclusive or exclusive; licensing and night caps mainly apply to short-term rentals. For hotel revenue management consulting, the audit checks that your pricing, fees and restrictions reflect these rules, and flags where they cost you revenue or create risk.
Peak demand in Indiana Dunes: June to August, with summer weekends the highest. June to August: Beach weekends for Chicago families and couples.
