guest reception
Hosting arriving visitors
Guest reception is the area or process of welcoming and registering visitors at a hotel, office, or event venue.
The term encompasses both the physical space—a desk or lobby where guests check in—and the act of greeting them: The hotel's guest reception was understaffed during the conference.
In hospitality contexts, it often implies the quality of welcome provided.
