There are a few buildings named 'Reception', I think
those are not named but used to indicate where the
reception function is.<br>
I have one of these myself.

There was a proposal for this:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/amenity%3Dreception_desk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org<wbr>/wiki/Proposed_Features/amenit<wbr>y%3Dreception_desk</a><br>
<br>
but since people could not agree on amenity vs.
tourism vs. office<br>
during the voting process, it got rejected.<br>
There is probably a lengthy discussion on the
tagging mailing list<br>
archive about the proposal.<br>
<br>
I still believe amenity=reception_desk could be used
though.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I’m doing some internal mapping of hospitals in
North Wales with the<br>
objective of allowing people to navigate from
their front doors to the front<br>
desk of a relevant hospital department in our
accessible journey planner. I<br>
haven’t been able to find a definitive way to tag
a reception desk – can<br>
anyone help me with this please? Is their agreed
approach to doing this?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Will<br>
