hotel lobbies
Inn entrance halls
Hotel lobbies are the entrance areas of hotels—the space between the front door and the rest of the building where guests check in, wait, and pass through.
The plural appears in discussions of design, hospitality, or the social dynamics of these transitional spaces: Hotel lobbies have become coworking spaces for digital nomads.
A hotel lobby suggests a particular aesthetic: high ceilings, seating arrangements, ambient lighting.
