Explanation:
Lounge is probably the more commonly used of the two. I'll leave it to a US answerer to tell you what it is in US English.

agree  Rachel Douglas: "Sitting room" is good in AE, too, as part of a suite. A hotel "lounge" would tend to be a common area, while a "living room" is in somebody's house, not a hotel.

agree  Judith Hehir: Another US possibility—"suite living room": http://www.flickr.com/photos/sheratonhotels/5581480047/
