visitor room

Where guests wait

A visitor room is a designated space where people receive guests, typically in institutional settings.

Prisons have visitor rooms where inmates meet with family, friends, or lawyers.

Hospitals, nursing homes, and residential facilities often maintain similar spaces for receiving visitors away from private rooms or restricted areas.
