Spanish term or phrase: todo tipo de atenciones
Morning all.

Maybe it's my cold-befuddled head, but I can't for the life of me think of a way of expressing this in English. It's from the description of a hotel suite which appears in a special offer description for a spa hotel in Spain:

Suite de lujo doble con todo tipo de atenciones

All ideas will be gratefully received!

Spanish from Spain for UK English.

Thank you all for your help. I've decided to go for this answer. I agree with Álvaro in that it is just referring to in-room amenities, so did not add the "services" bit. I also put the "to" in after "cater".

Thanks a lot everybody, enjoy the weekend!

Fully equipped and serviced luxury double suite


Explanation:
I used "equipped" to refer to the bidet in the bathroom etc. and "serviced" to refer to the box of tissues on the dressing room table etc., but you could omit "serviced" if you wish.
