Senate chamber

Upper house room

The Senate chamber is the room where a senate meets to conduct legislative business.

In the United States, it refers specifically to the ornate hall in the Capitol building where the hundred U.S. senators debate and vote: Visitors watched from the gallery above the Senate chamber.

State legislatures with senates have their own chambers.
