private room

Space for one

A private room is a space reserved for exclusive use, separate from shared or public areas.

In hospitals, it means a single-patient room rather than a ward: She requested a private room for her recovery.

In restaurants or clubs, it's an enclosed space for meetings or parties away from the main floor.

On messaging platforms, a private room is a chat visible only to invited participants.
