Comptoir de la réception

[Syagrius]

Bonjour

Quel est la meilleure façon de dire "comptoir de la réception" en anglais (AE et BE) ?

Il semble qu'il y ait deux manières : the reception desk /receptionist desk.
Y a--t-il une différence ? L'un semble moins utilisé que l'autre.

Suggestions s.v.p.

Merci .

"Reception desk" is more often used for the general bulding or office.

"Receptionist desk" is less often used, and for maybe one secretary or a private secretary.

Really they are the same, although there may be a slight nuance between the two.
Reception desk: Area and desk one goes to first when entering offices / hotel reception etc
Receptionist's desk: desk where the receptionist sits (couldn't use this in a hotel situation)
