pivotante


Explanation:
There are few hostels presenting this kind of characteristics. However, without further information, it's only a proposal. When asking a vocabulary question, context is very important, we are not machine dictionaries.

tournant


Explanation:
Employé pour des restaurants ou des terrasses ... et en effet le concept de vue panoramique est souvent associé.
Cependant le féminin "tournante" est à manier avec précaution, selon le destinataire, car "une tournante" en France désigne désormais un viol commis par un groupe ...
Donc pourquoi pas: "Cette suite en duplex, comprenant X, Y et Z, offre une (incroyable) vue panoramique" ou "Cette suite sur deux étages, comprenant X,Y et Z, pivote sur elle-même offrant une superbe vue panoramique"
