Hotels often offer two types of room types, guest rooms and suites. Both of these vary in terms of size, features and amenities offered.

What is a room?

A room basically consists of a bed; either a single, twin, king or queen size, a desk and chair, bathroom, and other basic amenities such as a TV, sofa, etc.

What is a suite?

A suite is much larger and will usually have one or more connecting bedrooms and bathrooms; ideal for families or large groups of friends. A suite is basically a fully furnished apartment and can often be found at any of the luxury resorts in Sri Lanka.

Extra features

In order to encourage more people to stay in a suite, hotels offer a variety of features and add-ons, such as a private pool, spa treatments, access to lounges, etc. so as to promote the “experience” rather than simply a one-night stay.
