He lives in a grand hotel, and his suite of apartments, his furniture, and his table, are the most elegant of anything I have seen.

Each suite was a separate miracle: the height, the breadth, the columnal divisions; the wonderful delicacy of the arches, upon which rested ceilings frescoed with incomparable art.

The hotel suite has become the brocaded tomb of the old-fashioned garden.

The Duchess arrived in a state coach of such extreme magnificence as to attract immediate notice, but with so slender a retinue as to provoke the sarcasms of the courtiers, who declared that they recognized her rank only by the carriage in which she rode; and the Mantuan suite accordingly became a favourite topic with the idle and the censorious.

The suite of rooms on the ground-floor are the summer apartments, specially arranged for air and coolness.

Our suite of cottage-rooms runs alongside the water, with a gallery in front, and the little boats on the lake, and the mountains in the distance, covered with snow, are objects pleasing to the eye.
