entrance hall

An entrance hall is the room or passage just inside the main door of a building, where visitors first arrive.
In homes, it's the space between the front door and the interior rooms—a transitional area for greeting guests, hanging coats, or leaving shoes: The entrance hall was cluttered with umbrellas and boots.
