Wkipedia is wrong. A five minute google search shows that Roman Palaces sometimes had corridors with doorways coming off them.

The bit about wheelchairs is weird too. I'm not saying it's not a good thing but I don't think it defines a hallway.

Which ones? Even Roman palaces adhere to the layout of a typical domus, in which all rooms open into a central courtyard (or multiple courtyards) rather than having a hallway that connects all of them. You can see this in the Domus Flavia, Domus Augustana, Domus Severiana, Palace of Diocletian, etc.
