lounge area

Casual sitting space

A lounge area is a space designed for relaxed sitting and socializing, typically furnished with comfortable seating like sofas and armchairs.

The term appears in hotels, airports, offices, and homes to designate informal gathering spots distinct from work or dining spaces: The office lounge area has a coffee machine and some couches.

We waited in the airport lounge area until boarding.
