Rooms so good they refuse to be a single room.

means A connected set of things meant to go together — rooms in a hotel, pieces of furniture, software programs bundled as one, or movements of music collected into a whole.

from From French 'suite,' meaning a following or sequence, from Old French 'siute,' which traces back to Latin 'sequi,' to follow. It's the same family that gave us 'sequel,' 'pursue,' and 'sue' — all things that come after or chase along. So a suite is literally a retinue, a train of things that follow one another. Fittingly, English borrowed it twice: the older spelling settled into 'suit,' while the later, daintier French borrowing kept its 'suite' for music, hotels, and furniture.
