The twelve were the first ones to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and it happened in the Temple.
The upper room is where the apostles abode. It's where they lived, slept, brushed their teeth, etc.
The gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out in the Temple, where thousands of people were gathered.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples
John 20:21-23 (NASB)
21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, their sins [a]have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
