The most spacious room in a hotel is called a suite.
Suite is a French word accepted by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) to refer to a set of rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms . This term is common in hotels and usually implies high-class accommodation.
Suites offer more space than traditional rooms and often include more furniture (tables, chairs, etc.). The most luxurious room in certain hotels is called the presidential suite .
For example: “I would like to know the price of a double suite with a whirlpool, please” , “Madonna stayed in the presidential suite, where she spent the whole day surrounded by her assistants” , “The suite they offered me did not meet my expectations: I was looking for a larger space” .
Office suite
In computing , an office suite is a set of programs ( software ) that allows you to perform various tasks typical of the working world. Writing documents, preparing accounting statements and printing information are some of the usual functions of a suite.
Less common components of an office suite include databases , image editors and viewers (which may be vector or raster ), formula editors, email clients, freehand note-taking programs (which require a graphics tablet to use), software management applications, and desktop publishing tools (also known as desktop publishing programs ).
This collection of computer programs is developed to provide greater convenience to the user, avoiding the need to purchase each program separately. The most popular office suite is Microsoft Office , created by Windows .
An office suite is a set of computer programs that enables the development of common office tasks.
Development of these sets of programs
Although the first programs for editing text and creating spreadsheets were released in the late 1970s , it was not until the middle of the following decade that Lotus Symphony , the first office suite, was born; it was launched in 1984 and combined the aforementioned tools with an application for creating graphics, a database manager based on forms and a communications program. Its strong point was that all the components had access to all the information, so that it could be visualized and treated in different ways.
Contrary to what many would think, the first two versions of Microsoft Office were available exclusively to Mac users until late 1992 , when Office 3.0 made its debut on PC in two versions: the standard version, which included Word , Excel , PowerPoint and Mail ; and the professional version, which also included Access .
Open source office suites
Office 's success in its fight to establish itself over older packages was due in part to the quality of its spreadsheet application Excel . Until the mid- 1990s , no one could compete with Microsoft ; but things began to change with the arrival of the open source philosophy. In 1999 , Sun Microsystems bought StarOffice Suite (which had been developed earlier by a small German company) and began distributing it for free.
In 2000 , Sun made the source code freely available with the explicit intention of developing an open source community around its software. Due to intellectual property issues, the project was renamed OpenOffice.org , and it enjoys a considerable level of acceptance among those who dislike piracy and do not have the money to afford the paid alternatives.
The concept in music
In the field of music , a suite is a musical piece that is composed of several short movements from baroque dances.
The various passages of a suite were usually composed in the same key or in its relative minor, so that the piece maintained internal unity. However, towards the end of the Baroque period, this musical form began to mix different keys with thematic contrasts.
