Spanish term or phrase: Lucen sus tonos en las suites de vidrio partido.
Tejidos marroquíes y mapuches lucen sus tonos en las suites de vidrio partido.

vidrios partidos???
The most I could get was "French windows" (but i also know that "french windows" refers to those that are like doors too)

Then the "lucen" is always problematic.

My attempt so far: "Moroccan and Mapuche fabrics show their hues in the (x) windowed suites/suites with (X) windows"

display their hues in the multipaned glass suites
Explanation:
Me quedo con el lucen de neilmac, pero vidrio partido no tiene que ver con glazing; el double glazing es una ventana doble moderna, que protege contra los elementos. Estas son ventanas de muchos paneles, divididas por madera o metal.

display their shades in the double-glazed suites


Explanation:
Maybe "display" is a bit banal, how about "twinkling nuances of colour" or something along those lines... ?

Show off their colours/tones/shades in the suites with their multi-lit windows


Explanation:
You could change this around slightly:

The colours of the Moroccan and Mapuche fabrics can be seen in their full glory in the suites with their....

For definition of multi-lit windows, see Wikipedia (your context doesn't specify the architectural style, so it's hard to judge the relevance)

[edit] Multi-lit window
A window glazed with small panes of glass separated by wooden or lead "glazing bars", or "muntins", arranged in a decorative "glazing pattern" often dictated by the architectural style at use. Due to the historic unavailability of large panes of glass, this was the prevailing style of window until the beginning of the twentieth century, and is traditionally still used today.
