hotel lobby

Check-in waiting area

A hotel lobby is the main entrance area and reception space of a hotel, where guests check in, wait for companions, or pass through to reach other parts of the building.

Lobbies range from modest functional spaces to grand architectural showcases with seating areas, concierge desks, and bars.

We agreed to meet in the hotel lobby at noon.
