suíte

A suíte is a term often used in the hospitality industry to describe a hotel room that offers more space and amenities than a standard room. Typically, a suíte comprises a separate living area that is distinct from the bedroom. This separation can be achieved through a wall with a door, a partial wall, or simply by the arrangement of the furniture. The living area may include a sofa, armchairs, a coffee table, and sometimes a desk.

Beyond the increased living space, suítes often come with enhanced amenities. These can include a larger bathroom, a kitchenette or wet bar, a dining area, multiple televisions, and upgraded toiletries. The size and features of suítes can vary significantly from one hotel to another, with some offering multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, effectively functioning as a small apartment.

The term "suíte" is also used in other contexts. In music, a suíte refers to a collection of instrumental musical pieces, often in dance forms, that are arranged in a sequence. In theatre, a suíte is a set of rooms designated for performers or VIPs. In the context of software, a suíte can refer to a collection of programs that are bundled together, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software. However, in common parlance, especially when referring to accommodation, "suíte" primarily denotes a larger, more luxurious hotel room.
