recepción

reception

noun rre-sep-SYOHN Less Common

Usage Note

Recepción covers both a hotel front desk and a formal social gathering. The accent mark on the final syllable is required (recepción) — without it, recepcion is a spelling error. The person staffing it is a recepcionista.

"Deja las llaves en la recepción."

Natural Translation

Leave the keys at the front desk.
