mirador ( same as in Spanish)
From Webster´s :
MIRADOR = a turret or a bay window, oriel window,loggia,or enclosed balcony designed to command an extensive outlook - used chiefly of
Spanish architecture.
ORIEL = a large bay window of semihexa-gonal or semisquare plan projecting from the face of a wall and supported by a corbel or bracket.
(an oriel is so beautiful and artistic)

El balcón es abierto, el mirador es un balcón cerrado.
mirador (de una habitación) = balcón cerrado de cristales o persianas y cubierto con un tejadillo (Dicc. RAE)
Creo que hay que distinguir entre el sitio desde donde se mira,el mirador, y lo que se ve (la vista, o las vistas) desde el mirador. \"View\" es lo que se ve, no el mirador de la habitación.
\"A room with a view\" indica que esa habitación está situada en un sitio desde donde se puede contemplar una vista, ya sea desde una simple ventana o desde un mirador.

He dado la opción de \"mirador\" como otra posibilidad, pero yo particularmente me quedaría con lo que ha elegido Dolores, que me parece lo más acertado para una habitación .
BAY WINDOW = a window or series of windows forming a bay or recess in a ROOM and projecting outward from the wall in a rectangular,polygonal, or curved form. (From Webster´s Dict.)
BOW WINDOW = it is a bay window with a curved ground plan.

: Perdonadme si estoy equivocada,glup,pero creo que "view" es lo que tal vez se pueda contemplar desde el mirador de la habitación, no el mirador.Siento no estar de acuerdo con tantos amigos.

: Que haya un mirador no siempre implica que haya algo que mirar. Room with a view es muy lindo, pero bay window o bow window es más fiel.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT A bay or bow window are both incorporated as it were in the essential structure of the room ,whereas a mirador is a kind of extention,so I don´t see how you can avoid the word \"balcony\"......
