bedchambers
Private sleeping rooms
Bedchambers is the plural of bedchamber, a formal or old-fashioned word for a bedroom—a private room containing a bed for sleeping.
The term appears most often in historical contexts or period literature: The king retired to his bedchambers.
It suggests a grander or more formal space than the everyday word bedroom.
