Usage Note

Habitación means a room in a house or hotel (habitación doble, 'double room'). In Spain, cuarto is a common informal synonym for a bedroom. In a hotel context, habitación is the standard term. Note it derives from habitar ('to inhabit'), so it literally means 'a space one inhabits'. Do not confuse with apartamento (an entire flat/apartment).
