Trelawney's room is definitely a tower - it's located at the top of 
the north tower I think.  There has been no room described that I 
could find that has 3 doors and so far the only room described with 
candles is the Great Hall and the dungeon for the Deathday party 
(that I could find).

I like this idea.  We know that Hogwarts has lots of secret 
passageways and beyond the paths to Hogsmeade and the Chamber of 
Secrets, we really haven't seen any of that yet.  I still think it 
would be cool if the entryway is in a room that we've spent lots of 
time in in past books.  

For example, in Trelawney's classroom, Harry has all sorts of visions 
and dreams.  Is it because of the room's atmosphere?  or is it 
because of something else that we haven't yet seen.  Maybe the other 
world is a lot closer in that room and Harry has the skills to get to 
it.  Could this be why Trelawney was trying to keep Harry in class 
when his scar hurt in Book 4?
