Would you call it a suite?

Is this a suite?
2 bedrooms connected by a door; each with its own bathroom and separate entry.
Or, is a suite only a suite when there is a common sitting room with amenities in between the 2 bedrooms?
(Being as we're naming things.)

Two rooms together... a suite. If you ask me.

2 connected rooms, not a suite.

I don't think I'd call that arrangement a suite. I'd expect a sitting room as well as one or two bedrooms, and 1 or 2 bathrooms

We have two so-called Suites: One with queen bedroom, sitting room, screened porch, & bath; the other with queen bedroom, sitting room with twin, private bath.

The guest corrected me. It's not a suite if it doesn't have a separate living room between the 2 bedrooms. It's the sitting room that counts.
This could be one bedroom with a sitting room and it would be a suite.
So, I need a new word for my 2 bedroom, sans sitting room thingy.
They were peeved there was no living room attached. No place to sit together.
We call a room what the PO' s called a suite. It was one big room, no dividers.
Just give me another name for it. That's all I need.

Hotels call that connecting rooms

I don't have a word but I'm thinking.
Is this the one with the private staircase? Is there any way to put two chairs or a tiny loveseat out in the hallway area since it's private?
I do expect a sitting area if I rent a suite. Otherwise I think it's connecting rooms.

Room with connecting bathroom -- "en suite"
Think of the "Master Bedroom Suite," which is just the bedroom with it's connected bathroom.
So I would say any two rooms that can be interconnected with one another separately from the rest of the building could be considered a suite.
EDIT -- Ok, maybe it would be better if one of the rooms was more of a sitting room than a bedroom....

The problem is, it needs a name. It's the Rose Room + the Lilac Room = Garden Suite.
Calling it the Connecting Room doesn't work.
I've tried putting seating out there but it works for the one room only, you couldn't sit 4 people out there.
I could just take Suite out of the name and call it something else altogether. I did look around and other folks with this layout call 2 bedrooms with a connecting door and no living room a suite.
But I don't want to deal with arguments all summer from people who are used to hotel suites with separate seating, kitchens, etc.
I'll think on it.

Garden Adjoining Rooms?

A suite in the UK doesn't have to have 2 bedrooms but it must have a bedroom and a living room - 2 rooms which connect would be "connecting rooms"

The Garden Pair --
The Garden Combo --
-- two adjoining, interconnected rooms

Two adjoining rooms, each with their own private bath and entrance, sharing a connecting door between them.
Here many places would call your two connecting rooms a family suite. But if your guests are confused by that description then best to just say it like it is with some detail.

Our suites have a living area , their own entrance bedroom bathroom ,living room their own long deck It is about 450 squ ft.
.Our other suite is a bed/ sitting room ( living room at one end and bedroom at the other end).
with their own bathroom and eating room,own entrance and deck it is over 400 squ ft .
I certainly would call your room a two bedroom suite. with no cooking area.

How about Studio as in Studio Apartment?

No, because a studio would imply there was cooking facilities in the room.

Mort, this thread just goes to show you that no matter what you call it there will be those that will say that it is not a ...............
Just call it something that flows well and a short explanation.
BTW - Webster's definition of Suite:
: a group of rooms that is used for one purpose
: a group of rooms in a hotel that is used by one person, couple, family, etc.

That is the definition I used when I called my smallest room/dressing room/bath room/hall/walk-in-closet a suite. But then again, I speak to each guest personally before booking so I can explain exactly what the space offers...and what it does not offer.
Even so, I did have one guest say that the rooms are more sweet and suite!

I think play it under rather than over then you are safe from the idiots.
(I've had a hard guest day)
I would in Aussie terms (But I am used to Sydney 5 star originally) think a suite has a bedroom, a living room with both sofa and a dining/desk area and entertainment set (TV STEREO etc) and a full bathroom with bath. I think the rooms would need to be slightly larger than normal too....
Id agree with connecting, why not chose two names that have the same type, but also can stand apart, and actually separately explaining it is connecting to those who need that function.
Like oak and elm, maple and pine for want of a better example
