Definition

1. Noun:
   • A hotel room that shares a common wall with another hotel room: An "adjoining room" is a room in a hotel or similar lodging that is located directly next to another room, with a shared wall between them. These rooms are typically separate but adjacent, and they may or may not have a connecting door.

Usage

• The term is used primarily in the context of hospitality, travel, and accommodation to describe the physical layout of rooms.
• It specifies proximity and shared structure, which is important for groups or families traveling together who wish to be near each other.
• Example: "We booked two adjoining rooms so our family could stay close together."

Examples

• Noun:
  • The hotel upgraded us to a suite with an adjoining room for the children.
  • Please check if you have any adjoining rooms available for our conference attendees.
  • Their adjoining room had a locked door connecting to ours, which provided extra privacy.

Advanced Usage

• "Adjoining rooms with a connecting door": This specifies that the rooms not only share a wall but also have a door that can be opened to create a larger suite or allow direct passage between the rooms.
  • For easier access, we specifically requested adjoining rooms with a connecting door.

Variants and Related Words

• Adjacent room (n): A room that is next to or near another room. This is a broader term that does not necessarily imply a shared wall; the rooms could be across a hallway.
• Connecting rooms (n): Rooms that have a private, interior door linking them, allowing movement between the rooms without going into the public hallway. All connecting rooms are adjoining, but not all adjoining rooms are connecting.
• Adjoining (adj): Sharing a common border or touching. For example, "adjoining properties" or "adjoining buildings."

Synonyms

• Adjacent room: A room situated next to another.
• Neighboring room: A room located very close by, typically next door.

Notes on Meaning

• The core meaning of "adjoining room" is defined by physical adjacency and a shared wall. It is a specific type of adjacent room.
• It is important to distinguish it from a suite, which is typically a single unit with multiple rooms, or connecting rooms, which have a direct, passable doorway.
• In some contexts, "adjoining" might be used more loosely to mean simply "next to," but in formal hotel terminology, it strongly implies the shared wall.
