Short answer: nobody can hand you a universal list.
Planners search by city, room type, headcount, event type or the hotel’s name. A phrase with big search volume can still be the wrong job for a particular page.
I’d start with the questions planners already ask your sales team.
Collect the language from the work
Go through recent inquiries and ask sales which questions keep coming up. Then separate the buyer’s words from your internal shorthand. Nobody outside the building searches for “Grand ABC” or “the Salon 3 flip.”
“Classroom meeting space for 80” and “wedding ballroom” describe two very different programs, even if they end up in the same room. They shouldn’t get interchangeable content just because the room is the same.
Use search data, knowing what it can’t tell you
Look at query and landing page pairs in Search Console over a few months, and break them out by country and device when it helps. Google’s Search Console performance reference explains what each number means.
Impressions show where you appeared. They don’t show every search your buyers made, and they don’t tell you which searchers were planners.
Give each question one owner page
Decide which existing page should answer the question. A room page answers “does this room fit my event?” A capacity guide explains setup styles. A field note digs into one narrow operating problem.
Don’t spin up five near-identical pages because a keyword tool offered “wedding ballroom,” “ballroom for weddings” and “wedding ballroom near me.” That’s one question.
Chase the high-volume phrases only when there’s a real audience behind them and your hotel has a real answer.
Check your guess after publishing
See which queries actually reach the page, and whether readers can finish the evaluation they came for. Fix unclear wording, weak internal links or overlap with another page when the data points to it.
A page title is a hypothesis, not a promise you’re stuck with.
The best ballroom terms connect a real buyer question to an answer your hotel can actually give. That beats a 400-row keyword spreadsheet nobody on the team can explain.
