A suite is usually much larger than the average hotel room, and includes a separate living area, attached bedroom and most often a dining room too. 

It all depends on the hotel. Some hotels feature dedicated family suites with plenty of beds, whether it is bunk beds, two doubles or queens, or a pull-out sofa bed in the living area. Many of the top suites have space for whole football teams, let alone families!
