Chambre avec bain

My comment:

In the hotel industry, a room with "en suite" bathroom is simply a "room with bath". The words "en suite" both are French; in theory, therefore, they do not need to be translated, being self-explanatory to a francophone. Unfortunately, anglo-saxons (especially Americans) have a tendency to (ab)use French for literary "effect". In this case, I would simply do away with the French words "en suite"; e.g. "a room with en-suite bath" would translated in French as "une chambre avec (salle de) bains".
