function room

Bookable gathering hall

A function room is a space in a hotel, restaurant, or other venue that can be rented for events—meetings, weddings, conferences, parties.

The term emphasizes the room's purpose: hosting functions rather than everyday dining or lodging.

We booked the function room for the company retreat.

More common in British and Australian English than American.
