inner chamber
Hidden interior space
An inner chamber is a room situated within or behind another, often private, protected, or hidden from general access.
The term suggests intimacy or secrecy—a space not easily reached: The king received only his closest advisors in the inner chamber.
Figuratively, it can refer to the most private recesses of mind or heart: She kept that grief locked in the inner chambers of her soul.
