guest quarters

Where visitors sleep

Guest quarters are rooms or a section of a building set aside for visitors to stay in.

The term typically implies accommodations more substantial than a single guest room—often a separate suite, wing, or detached structure: The estate's guest quarters overlooked the garden.

Military bases and government facilities use the term for temporary housing assigned to visiting personnel.
