Hola a todos,

tengo una duda sobre este término, sé que se trata de un "pasillo/corredor donde hay varios ascensores" pero no sé si eiste un término en español. La frase es "He knew well the elevator banks and crowded lobbies in the city"

Muchas gracias
I would say el área de los elevadores
It may be a British expression. In AmE, where we wait for the elevator, we simply call it "the elevator".

-- Where´s Nancy?
-- I just saw her at the elevator. ( ... waiting for the elevator)

"vestíbulos de ascensores"?
I don't think it's a BE expression. We would say, "... by the lifts".

Elevator bank seems to be more of a techinical description relating to the structure of a cluster of elevator (lift) shafts passing through the building.

In the example given, I would simply say, ""He knew well the elevators and crowded lobbies in the city"

"vestíbulo/hall de ascensores/elevadores" como bien te han dicho.

(hall ya es palabra aceptada por la RAE)
Gracias por la información!
