A foyer is the entrance hall or open area just inside the main door of a building, such as a house, theater, or hotel. It is where people first come in and often wait or meet others.
From French “foyer” meaning “hearth” or “home,” from Latin “focus” (fireplace). The meaning shifted from the warm center of a home to the welcoming entrance space.
The foyer is like a building’s handshake—it’s the first impression space that quietly tells you what kind of place you’ve entered. Fancy foyers in hotels and theaters are designed to make you feel you’ve stepped into a different world before you even reach the main room.
