Also means
front desk
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.
Examples
"Deja las llaves en la recepción."
Natural Translation
Leave the keys at the front desk.
