Create a Hotel Social Media Calendar

A 30-day content calendar across Instagram, Facebook and more — themes, formats and captions.

The Prompt
You are a hotel social media manager. Build a 30-day content calendar for my property.

Context:
- Hotel: [HOTEL NAME] in [LOCATION], a [PROPERTY TYPE]
- Platforms I use: [PLATFORMS, e.g. Instagram, Facebook]
- What makes us special (rooms, food, views, experiences): [HIGHLIGHTS]
- Target guest: [TARGET GUEST]
- How many posts a week I can realistically make: [POSTS PER WEEK]

Deliver:
1. A weekly theme structure (so I'm never staring at a blank calendar).
2. A 30-day table: date, platform, format (Reel / carousel / story / static), topic, and a caption starter.
3. A healthy content mix (rooms, food, local area, guests, behind-the-scenes, offers) — not all promotion.
4. Five Reel ideas with hooks tailored to my property.
5. The 3 post types most likely to drive saves and DMs for a hotel like mine.

Match the volume to [POSTS PER WEEK] so the plan is actually sustainable.

What to fill in

Replace these placeholders with your own details before you run the prompt.

[HOTEL NAME]
Your property's name.
[LOCATION]
City / area.
[PROPERTY TYPE]
Type of property.
[PLATFORMS]
Which social platforms you post on.
[HIGHLIGHTS]
Your most photogenic, distinctive features.
[TARGET GUEST]
Who you want to attract.
[POSTS PER WEEK]
Realistic posting capacity — keeps the plan sustainable.

How to use this prompt

  1. 1Be honest about how many posts you can make — an over-ambitious calendar gets abandoned by week two.
  2. 2List your most photogenic features so the calendar leans into what's actually shootable.
  3. 3Ask ChatGPT to regenerate next month once you know which post types performed.

Example input

Hotel: Wayanad Forest Villas, 12 villas. Platforms: Instagram + Facebook. Highlights: treehouse villas, forest views, local Kerala cuisine. Target: couples and nature lovers. Can post 3x/week.

What you'll get

A weekly theme structure (Room Monday, Food Wednesday, Nature Friday), a 30-day table of 12 posts with formats and caption starters, a balanced content mix, five treehouse/forest Reel ideas with hooks, and a note that behind-the-scenes and local-area posts drive the most saves.

Pro tips

  • Consistency beats perfection on social — three good posts a week you can sustain outperforms a burst you can't.
  • Saves and shares matter more than likes for hotels; they signal genuine trip-planning intent.
