If OP is looking for the "aspirational" suites, then HHonor and may be Hyatt might be the only 2 brands that he can book with points only.
I find the marriott properties (RI, Springhill) tend to have kitchenettes and dens - but no door to the bedroom in most of their rooms. I think they call them studio suites, but for my purposes they aren't as good. I have seen some Residence Inns where you can redeem "1 bedroom suites" for the same points as studio suites, but it becomes an availability issue, and/or hit or miss if it is added as a redemption option online.
