entry hall
First indoor space
An entry hall is the area just inside the main entrance of a building, where visitors first arrive and often leave coats or wait to be received.
In homes, it serves as a transitional space between outdoors and the main living areas: The entry hall was cluttered with shoes and umbrellas.
Also called an entryway or foyer.
