Spanish term or phrase: escritorio (in a suite)
Se trata de la descripción de una suite en una estancia. No encuentro cómo decirlo en inglés.... a esta hora no me da la cabeza!!! Context:
"...cinco suites de dos cuartos y un baño cada una y una suite completa con *escritorio*".
Imagino que no están hablando del mueble (desk) sino del espacio (tipo room).- Qué les parece?
Mil gracias, como siempre!!!!

It seems that this type of lodging (i.e., "una suite en una estancia") might be something a little more unique than a room in a traditional hotel (like the Radisson, here in the US). I wouldn't be surprised if they were full living quarters with a kitchen, living room, (perhaps a dining room) and a study/den--a separate room/area with for study/work (including, of course, a desk).

Suerte, Gabriela!
