German term or phrase: Raumerlebnis

Folglich untermalen auch heute noch das in die Jahre gekommene Tropenholz- Parkett, alte Türen und Fenster zusammen mit antiken Charakterstücken Ambiente und Atmosphäre der Villen. Imponierend ist das *Raumerlebnis* auf zweit Etagen mit Garten und privater Terrasse. Höchsten Schlafkomfort bietet das Himmelbett im „Kingsize"-Format.

What would be a good translation for this word? The author is describing the villas that the hotel uses to house their guests in this paragraph. Any help is very much apprecieted. I'm tired, and I have a deadline!
