Learn English – What’s the meaning of “parlor suite”

phrase-meaning

All the trunks from that car there, twelve from here and the safe, to the parlor suite, rooms B-52, 54, 56.

From the dictionary, I know that parlor means a room in a house which has comfortable chairs and is used for meeting guests, this also means parlor is part of a house. But of course, parlor suite is a whole suite, not a part of a room. What's the meaning of it?

Best Answer

Here it is described:

Parlor - A room in a private house/establishment where people can sit and talk and relax.

Suite - A set of room (as in hotel).

Now when it comes to parlor suite, it could be taken as a comfortable and relaxing establishment in a hotel (as we know Presidential Suite, Honeymoon Suite and so on).

Parlor suite seems to be more spacious. as most of the hotels highlight the 'space' there.

Here is the example:

Parlor Suite in a Hotel of Las Vegas
