This is the correct answer... Also, if you click on the shutdown button, and hold the mouse button there for a few milliseconds, the shutdown button changes into a suspend (two vertical bars) button, so you don't necessarily have to press the Alt key.

There isn't any, Welcome to GNOME!
But like in most of the other cases there's an extension which adds one: Suspend Button. It
Allows to modify the suspend/shutdown button in the status menu.
(screenshot source: extension's homepage at extensions.gnome.org)
Alternatively, if you press alt, the power button should change to the suspend ("pause" symbol) button.

@Marco I don't understand completely, which extension are you talking about? Lock button is there by default, I don't think any extension is needed for that. Also strictly speaking, installing the extensions is not at all necessary, the holding <Alt> key trick (seems to be intended way, cloning a feature from Mac) as mentioned here and also many other solutions from other answers (for example this one) don't require any extensions.

Alternatively, you can do it in two steps:
first you lock your session with the lock icon from the "power" menu, then you reach again the same menu from the lock screen, and it proposes the suspend icon this time.
Weird and confusing...

On newer GNOME versions (v3.26 or higher, so Ubuntu 17.10 and later), you can suspend from the 'Activities' overview. Simply click the "Activities" button or press Super and search for "suspend", an icon should appear:
Click it to suspend your system.
Note that you can also perform other actions like shutdown, logout, screen locking in the same way.

But like in most of the other cases there's an extension which adds one: Suspend Button. It
Allows to modify the suspend/shutdown button in the status menu.
(screenshot source: extension's homepage at extensions.gnome.org)
Alternatively, if you press alt, the power button should change to the suspend ("pause" symbol) button.

I used to be like that but now ALT button does not do anything. After adding some features to panel this feature disappeared!

even more useful (what is actually shown in the screenshot) is the Lock and Suspend extension, which also adds the Lock button. Why one would need to add an extension to have something that obvious, is something that only Gnome designers will ever know...

@Marco I don't understand completely, which extension are you talking about? Lock button is there by default, I don't think any extension is needed for that. Also strictly speaking, installing the extensions is not at all necessary, the holding <Alt> key trick (seems to be intended way, cloning a feature from Mac) as mentioned here and also many other solutions from other answers (for example this one) don't require any extensions.

Alternatively, you can do it in two steps:
first you lock your session with the lock icon from the "power" menu, then you reach again the same menu from the lock screen, and it proposes the suspend icon this time.
Weird and confusing...

Our house has 3 Ubuntu 18.04 desktop systems and while we often use suspend
we rarely use power off so here is our shortcut.
# Provide desktop shortcut to suspend command.
# A solution for Ubuntu 18.04 gnome somewhat hidden mouse nav to suspend.
# Place file in ~/Desktop/Suspend.desktop
# and chmod a+x ~/Desktop/Suspend.desktop

On newer GNOME versions (v3.26 or higher, so Ubuntu 17.10 and later), you can suspend from the 'Activities' overview. Simply click the "Activities" button or press Super and search for "suspend", an icon should appear:
Click it to suspend your system.
Note that you can also perform other actions like shutdown, logout, screen locking in the same way.

Press the 'alt' key while you are looking at the drop down menu. Sort of like running a Mac
