The win gives defending champion Barca two points ahead in La Liga. Real is third in seventh place, seven points behind and coach Julen Lopetegui under increased pressure after a disastrous race.
It was the first El Clasico since 2007, while neither Messi, held apart from a fractured arm, nor Cristiano Ronaldo, arrived at Juventus in the summer, had played a role, but obviously, Real finds life without his ancient talisman extremely difficult.
Philippe Coutinho opened the scoring for Real in the first period and Arturo Vidal scored with the fifth, but it was the Uruguayan striker Suarez who shined with his own master class to mark the absence from Messi.
He was penalized for the penalty in the 30th minute and managed to win 2-0.
Marcelo narrowed the gap in the 50th minute to give real hope before Luka Modric hit the post during the restart.
Suarez, however, had not finished his job, powerfully returning home to a 3-1 Sergi Roberto center before giving the fatal blow and his hat trick as he passed the pass in front of the desperate Thibaut. Courteous.
Ousmane Dembele placed Vidal in fifth place to complete the humiliation and let the Barcelona fans celebrate another famous victory over his old enemy.
"We have to be proud to have the best player in the world," Suarez said. "But we showed that we had an excellent team with an excellent coach," he added.
Lopetegui, who has led only one victory in the last six games, has looked down on him, and he seems to be about to be borrowed by the European champion.
His team lacks punch without Ronaldo. Gareth Bale was disappointed in the second half, and by the end of the summer, Chelsea Courtois' side conceded 14 goals in just eight games.
But he hit a provocative note addressing the media after the crushing defeat. "I want to stay in full control," he said.
"There is a lot of way to go and I have a lot of confidence in this group of players.
"We all know how the world of football works and the ultimate responsibility lies with the coach," he added.
