“En suite” is a French term that translates as “following” or “afterward.” Though the phrase was taken from French, the meaning in English has changed and moved away from the original French word translation.
In the world of real estate, an en suite is used to describe a bedroom to which a bathroom is directly adjoined. So a bedroom with a bath is an en suite. An en suite without a window cannot be considered a bedroom.
If a home has two bathrooms on the same floor, one bathroom will likely be an en suite.
This shouldn’t be confused with a bathroom that is accessible from two bedrooms. That type of room is often referred to as a Jack and Jill bathroom, shared between two bedrooms.
En suites are most commonly attached to the master bedroom of a home.
