Abstract
A hotel room includes a first area and a second area. The first area includes features to facilitate resting and/or working; the second area includes features that may produce noise or other distractions that are not conducive to resting and/or working. A hanging door can slide between the first and second areas to compartmentalize the resting and/or working area from the other area and reduce noise or distractions between the two areas.
