solaria

Rooms for basking

Solaria is the plural of solarium—a room or enclosure designed to admit sunlight, typically featuring large windows or a glass roof.

Hospitals once used solaria for patients believed to benefit from sun exposure.

The term also applies to tanning salons or the glass-enclosed sunrooms found in homes and hotels: The spa's solaria offered views of the mountains.
