Suite and special room layout

A suite is defined simply as a living room connected to one or more bedrooms. The number or percentage of suites varies among hotel types. Most hotels have no more than 2-5 percent of their keys allocated to suites. Since suites take a lot of room and are often decorated very luxurious, the price per night for a suite is much higher than that of a normal room. Therefore one will often find more suites in the more luxurious hotels whose guests are willing to pay higher amounts of money for their stay.

FF&E

FF&E is short for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment; everything within the hotel guestroom. Rutes presents an overview of all these elements in his book (table 16.6). This table is also presented on a hand-out and can be used to explain all these elements. This table will come back later in the workshop. The students will than use this table to design a guestroom themselves.
