checkrooms

Luggage holding areas

Checkrooms are facilities where you leave belongings temporarily—coats, bags, luggage—typically at theaters, restaurants, museums, or transit stations.

You receive a claim ticket and retrieve your items later.

The term is more common in American English; British speakers might say cloakroom or left-luggage office.

The museum checkroom was overflowing during the exhibition opening.
