What is a Hotel Suite? Is that different than a fully furnished and serviced apartment?
What is a hotel suite? Is a suite that different then a dedicated rental apartment? You may increasingly see that many hotel offer the option of choosing between a normal room or suite.
Normally we consider a suite to be better than a traditional hotel room. Usually there is a separate bedroom and lounge area or living room. Traditional hotel room on the other hand, usually have a lounge/seating area located in the bedroom itself.
Here’s a closer look at what sets a hotel suite apart and what you will most likely be paying that extra money for.
So, What is a Hotel Suite?
Normally there is not a clear definition of Suite and each hotels use different labels to refer to the various types of accommodations that they offer. In general, a single room will include a king or two queen or full sized beds, whereas a suite usually means that the room is extra big or that there are actually a series of connected rooms.
Business Suite or Fully furnished serviced apartment?
Standard rooms usually have:
- the indicated number and size of beds
- a television
- writing desk
- reading chair
- dresser
- closet
- a private bathroom
However, there are actually a wide range of configurations that are considered suites these days, offering a host of different amenities. Here are the most common:
- Hotel Suite with Separate Bedroom: there are at minimum two rooms (sometimes more) that are clearly defined, meaning you can close the door between them. Usually this is a bedroom and a living room area, but in some suites there is a second bedroom and sometimes a kitchen area as well. Usually, the living room area contains a sofa that can be converted into a bed.
- Hotel Suite with Expanded Living Room Area: or junior suite, this type of suite is typically a larger room that features a separate seating area, often with a pull-out sofa that enables more guests to be accommodated. In some cases, there will be a small divider between the part of the room where the beds are and the seating area. This type of suite almost always is only a big single room.
- Hotel Suite with Full Kitchen: A full kitchen will usually feature a refrigerator, freezer, stove, sink, an oven, and sometimes a dishwasher. Probably it will be stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware as well.
In short we can say that a suite is an apartment within the hotel, where I can profit of the hotel services and still have the same privacy of a separated house.

Still I am wondering if a fully furnished apartment with 24h/7 support can offer the same comfort and pleasure at a lower cost. Here there is an example:
