Dutch term

perfect afgeschermde hotelsuites

Dutch to English Other Journalism
The full sentence reads "Hughes zou zijn meeste tijd in perfect afgeschermde hotelsuites doorbrengen en ondanks zijn rijkdom een volmaakt kluzenaarsbestaan leiden".

I am not sure how to translate 'perfect afgeschermede hotelsuites'. I am thinking along the lines of 'perfectly screened off hotel suites'?

Thanks all,
Naomi

fully isolated hotel suites

in this case, but 'hotel suites fully isolated from the outside world' might be better wording

A lot has already been written about Howard Hughes, who is a sort of cult figure in some circles in the US; the Wikipedia entry could be helpful for your translation.
