I think OP meant that a cement layer had been put down under the original tile, and taking all that out would be expensive.

But I wonder if sub flooring could be put where the carpet was, to match the height of the tile portion, and the whole thing covered with laminate.

We ripped our carpet out and matched the tile to the kitchen/entry area. In a new house they can even match lot numbers. (Large dog with lots of shedding/drooling.) I don't find it cold, but lots of people do. Area rugs look nice on it.
