Bogart, I have not been in your model, but I am a Designer.
Based on the floor plan on line of the Bonita and envisioning it with cathedral ceilings...I would think that you should be able to quite simply install a soffit just above the door opening, leaving it open above the soffit which would be like a 12" high plant ledge running across the opening. (You don't have to put a plant there, and it doesn't have to be 12" high. Depth could be wall depth or run all the way back to the bathroom hall, wall.
The pocket door itself only requires empty wall space. It would look good both open and closed, and afford your guests their privacy.
Could work for you.
