database design question

Hi all

I am designing a booking system to allow management of hotels. I need
to be able to show what rooms are free on each day of the year.
Obviously I have a hotel table, a room table, and a booking table. My
question is how do I represent this without having a record for each
room for each day of the year?
I would need to run 365 queries to show the table that I want i.e.

Date | Hotel | Rooms Booked | Rooms Free
1/1/03
2/1/03
3/1/03
..
..
..
or would I?

Thanks to all suggestions
