parlors
Formal receiving spaces
Parlors is the plural of parlor, a room for receiving guests or conducting business.
The word sounds old-fashioned for home use—a formal sitting room distinct from everyday living spaces—but remains current in business names: beauty parlors, funeral parlors, ice cream parlors, massage parlors.
The last sometimes serves as a euphemism for a brothel.
