English term or phrase: medidas (ver)
Quizás sea confusión mía, pero en una descripción de los servicios que ofrece un hotel, me aparece lo siguiente:
Meeting rooms (small groups): 315,000 square feet
Ahora bien, si se trata de 315.000 pies cuadrados de espacio, mi calculadora me dice que es una extensión de casi 3 hectáreas. ¿Cómo puede ser eso un lugar para "small groups"?
Se aceptan opiniones y sugerencias. Muchas gracias.

¡divididas!


Explanation:
A mi ver... Esa gran extensión tiene que estar dividida en muchas salitas para reuniones.

agree  Walter Landesman: sí, por eso dice meeting roomS, en plural. Puede haber varias en ese espacio.

neutral  Lydia De Jorge: hola Karin, no le veo logica a que anuncien el total de espacio en lugar de la medida de cada salon. I think it's a typo.

agree  Aïda Garcia Pons: Una posibilidad. Aunque de todos modos yo intentaría hablar con el cliente/hotel.

agree  Cándida Artime Peñeñori: Creo que si fuese un typo -como dicen otros colegas- después de 315 y el punto decimal se hubiesen escrito sólo dos ceros, que es lo convencional en casos así.

agree  Celia Recarey: Me parece la opción más creíble, aunque no estaría de más, si fuese posible confirmarlo con el cliente

30 metros cuadrados


Explanation:
En efecto, Débora, 315,000 pies cuadrados son 29,264.44 metros cuadrados, casi tres hectáreas. No entiendo, salvo que la coma sea decimal y entonces sean 315 pies cuadrados, equivalentes a 29.26 metros cuadrados; es decir salones de cinco por seis metros poco más o menos, que es mucho más creíble. En fin, creo que ésa puede ser la solución. Saludos.

Explanation:
I suggest you confirm the source text with the customer....suerte.
(29 square meters sounds about right for a small area for meetings).
