The Roosevelt Room is a meeting room in the West Wing of the White House, the residence of the president of the United States, in Washington D.C. Located in the center of the wing, across the hall from the Oval Office, it is named after two related U.S. presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who were both major contributors to the West Wing. The room is commonly used for staff meetings and to announce the appointment or nomination of new staff members.
