The pronunciation is exactly the same. They are completely different words. "Suite" means a set or a grouping. In a hotel, it means you are renting a group of connected rooms. In the US, last summer we rented a hotel "room" for $100 a night. When we opened the door, we saw a single room with two beds, two chairs, a small desk, a refrigerator, and a microwave, and a bathroom off to the side. The summer before, we were on a family Disney World vacation where several families shared a hotel suite which cost $500 a night. When we opened the door, we saw a big room with no beds. Part of it was a living room, with a sofa, a coffee table, and a TV set; part of it was a full kitchen with counters, cabinets, full-sized refrigerator, stove, and a dining table. Doorways from that room led to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Hotels with "suites" as part of their name are hotels in which all of the accommodations are suites. They are popular with business people who are staying in one place for several weeks. You would not usually say a hotel room was "sweet." You would say it was "luxurious."

Hi Dan, how is "off to one side" different from "to one side" here? Would it give you a different feel? I'm just wondering why OFF is used here.:-)

Off" can mean "less visible" or "more distant." For example, in the theatre, "offstage" means the areas of the stage in the wings, off to the sides, that audiences are not supposed to see. Here, "off to one side" means to the side, in a place where I didn't notice it immediately. Not hidden, but not obvious. First I see the living-and-dining room. A few second later, wondering where the other rooms are, I turn my head and see the passage to the other rooms, off to one side.

Suite is indeed pronounced as sweet.

Hi there, The pronunciation of "suite" and "sweet" are the same. A suite room is made up of two or more interlinked rooms. If I get the choose, I do not mind getting both a "suite" and a "sweet" room :) Cheers, Lance

Well, I don't know what a "sweet" room is (unless it's code for something devious), but yes, "suite" is pronounced the same way. Personally, I don't have the kind of money to spend on a suite room. Just give me a clean room with a comfortable bed and I'm good =)
