:: Mercede Promenade, the main lobby and reception area.

:: Rossi Salon on the upper level has a panoramic view of downtown Stamford.

Both the Rich Forum and Palace Theatre seasons include performances by Connecticut Grand Opera and Orchestra, Stamford Symphony Orchestra, New England Lyric Operetta, Ballet School of Stamford, Young Artist Philharmonic, Lumina String Quartet, Zig Zag Ballet, and The Perry Players.
