The Room is ANA’s spectacular business class suite, famous for being extraordinarily wide, offering closing doors, and alternating forward and backward-facing rows.
When All Nippon Airways (ANA) debuted "The Room," it sent shockwaves through the industry. The seat is so wide that it resembles a small couch more than an airplane seat—you can easily sit cross-legged or share the space with a small child. It features high sliding doors, a massive 4K monitor, and sleek Japanese aesthetics. Because the seat is so incredibly wide, ANA had to alternate the rows so that half the cabin faces backward to make the puzzle pieces fit. It is widely regarded as one of the top three business class products in the world alongside Qatar’s Qsuites.
The Room is exclusively found on newly delivered or retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, typically flying premium routes like New York or London to Tokyo.
Most passengers report that they only notice the backward sensation during takeoff and landing. Once cruising, it feels entirely normal and the immense width of the seat makes up for any oddity.
A suite or mini-suite is a business class seat enclosed by privacy partitions and often a sliding door, creating a highly private individual space.
A door suite is a business class lie-flat seat equipped with a sliding door that can be pulled shut for total visual privacy from the aisle.
