parlours
Formal sitting spaces
Parlours is the British spelling of parlors, the plural of parlour.
A parlour is a room for receiving guests or entertaining, now old-fashioned in domestic use but surviving in commercial names: beauty parlour, funeral parlour, ice cream parlour.
These establishments offer services in a setting meant to feel more personal than institutional.
