hot room
Stifling heated space
A hot room is a space kept at elevated temperature for a specific purpose.
In spas and bathhouses, the hot room is where you go to sweat—a sauna, steam room, or similar heated chamber: I'll be in the hot room for twenty minutes.
In industrial contexts, hot rooms handle radioactive materials or maintain controlled high temperatures for manufacturing processes.
