One person raised the interesting possibility of the 'reception desk'
being 'staffed' remotely .. with a video terminal. I suppose that one
receptionist could serve several points for the one organisation.
In that situation the 'desk' may be a shelf.
Personally I would be happy with 'reception desks' being a simple node
rather than a way or area.

Reception area or waiting area ? Not too worried about that or what it
is called. To me the most important thing is where to go as a visitor
for first contact.
Once that is done I would think further instruction would be gained. So
I am not too worried about mapping it. So I leave it up to those concerned?

A reception desk may not have a reception area?
Think I'd want to know where the desk is so I go there and am
directed to an area or straight on to what I want?
Ah, hadn't thought of that. So would you say that a reception desk is
a staffed information facility while a reception area is more like a
waiting room (though it may have a reception desk within or beside it)?
In which case there would be reason to use both tags when mapping the
same overall facility.

From tag info
amenity=reception_desk 121 uses
tourism=reception_desk 3 uses
office=reception_desk 0 uses
There are a few buildings named 'Reception', I think those
are not named but used to indicate where the reception
function is.
I have one of these myself.
However:
amenity=reception_area 111 uses

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

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