How it's used
Refers specifically to a section of a venue that feels more private, quiet, or upscale than the standard seating area. It is often used in older style tea houses or traditional restaurants to denote a booth or a slightly partitioned area that feels more exclusive. While it implies comfort, it does not necessarily mean expensive, just better suited for conversation or privacy.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a private room, which is usually called 房 or 包廂. Using this to describe a completely enclosed room will sound incorrect to native speakers.
