I am looking for a word for an arbitrary collection of rooms.
They might be all rooms on floor 2, all the bedrooms, or all rooms in a building.
The best I have currently is "Room Collection", but that of course, is not a word.

2What is the context (namely the sentence where you would use the word)? And why doesn’t the obvious choice (simply the word “rooms”) not work? – Laurel Oct 16 '20 at 15:27

3The collective noun for a connected set of rooms is of course 'suite'. I would think that an arbitrary set of rooms crops up so rarely that a collective noun has not been considered useful. – Edwin Ashworth Oct 16 '20 at 15:56

The form of this question bears an uncanny resemblance to one I constructed some time ago. – Andrew Leach Oct 16 '20 at 16:12

@EdwinAshworth Go for it. There is no better alternative. – Anton Oct 23 '20 at 07:39

I'd mark the answer wrong. It doesn't work with 'all the bedrooms in a building', only with specially connected sets. The answer is almost certainly 'we haven't got such a word'. 'Set of rooms' is more felicitous. – Edwin Ashworth Oct 23 '20 at 11:37
