Many US hotels have comfortable chairs in their lobbies, but not to the extent that I think you are describing. Some may have "lounges", but that term is normally associated with a place where you can buy alcoholic beverages. Some of the old, fancy hotels had 'smoking' or 'gentlemen's' lounges where men went to have a cigarette or a cigar.

- That is probably a thing of the past now, as most buildings now prohibit smoking indoors.
- When I hear "refresh room" I think of the restroom with toilet and sinks.

I think you are right that it is English used mostly in Japan. The website for Kansai airport says that it had a Refresh Cabin (now closed) and has opened a Refresh Square
As you say, the idea is that the customer can relax. In the case of the airport, of course, they are taking a break before continuing with their trip
In UK English, I would say 'lounge' or, in fac
