I do think the term lounge is being over loaded with it meaning both the
³IETF lounge typically located in allocated meeting space/rooms² and the
lobby bar/lounge.   As I recall the original comment to the list was
specifically to have a bar area that was located centrally to where
attendees would be passing through and which permitted easy drop in access
during the day and into the evening where adhoc meetings could happen, and
due to the virtue that people would be frequently gathered in this bar
enabled unplanned meet ups that could lead to the adhoc discussions.

Examples of where this was present in the past are:   London (Metropole),
Buenos Aires Hilton, Chicago Sofitel, Berlin Intercontinental.
