Beanbag chairs of the '60s conjure up images of hippies mellowing out on the floor, listening to groovy music on headphones by the light of a lava lamp.
Young professionals with laptops sprawl across couches, beanbag chairs, and even pillow-covered stacks of wooden pallets, sipping artisanal coffee or lemon-accented water.
They are designed to attract millennials: travellers between the ages of 18 and 34 who hotels say aren't interested in marble bathtubs but might enjoy beanbag chairs.
They could, perhaps, live without things like maps and posters strung along the walls, beanbag chairs for a reading corner and pool noodles for rhythm games.
