doorman's

Lobby attendant's possession

Doorman's is the possessive form of doorman—a person stationed at the entrance of a building, typically a hotel or apartment complex, to greet visitors and assist with doors, packages, and security.

The possessive indicates something belonging to or associated with that person: the doorman's uniform, the doorman's desk, I left the package with the doorman's approval.
