Cloakroom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A cloakroom, or sometimes coatroom, is a room for people to hang their coats. Typically found inside a large building, such as a gymnasium or meeting hall, it is long and narrow with plenty of pegs on which to hang coats, umbrellas, and hats.

Attended cloakrooms are staffed rooms where coats and bags can be stored securely. Typically, a ticket is given to the customer, with a corresponding ticket attached to the garment or item. They are often found in Nightclubs.

The United States Senate cloakroom is a favorite hiding place for senators [1].

In the United Kingdom cloakroom is a euphemism for lavatory.
