Notes

GENERAL INFO

Chambre is a feminine noun primarily meaning "bedroom." It can also refer to any room in a lodging context, such as a hotel room.

USAGE

Commonly used as "ma chambre" (my bedroom), "une chambre d'amis" (a guest room), or "une chambre d'hôtel" (a hotel room). Example: "J'ai besoin d'une chambre individuelle." (I need a single room.)

TRAPS

Do not confuse chambre with "pièce." While "pièce" is a general term for any room in a house (e.g., living room, dining room), chambre almost always specifically denotes a room for sleeping.
