Examples
Commercial Sector (decks 222 to 230)
While most decks on the station are 1 level all 3 of the promenade levels are in actuality double levels. This means that some stores may have 2 levels once you enter or that some shops may be on top of other shops.
Their is a middle deck that in places allows people to walk around the second level of each promenade but it does not block in most cases one's ability to enjoy the wide open space that has been created by having the ceiling 20 plus feet above as you walk around.
This also allows the holodecks to be full size.
Holodecks
There are at least three Holodecks and a number of Holosuites in the vicinity of the Promenades. All three of the holodecks are the standard size found on most stations, with an interior of 20' high, 60' wide and 60' long.
Most of the holosuites are the standard size of 10' tall, 20' wide and 20' long. A few of them are of the deluxe size being 10' tall, 30' wide by 40' long.

Twilight's Edge
A popular spot for food, drink and entertainment among Deep Space 17 personnel, civilians and visitors. Since it is on the outer edge of the station it has taken advantage of the windows and its second level to creat a truly unique setting. With its flowing walkways, creative staircases and open concept layout the view can be enjoyed by all. Added to that is the excellent use of plants, aquariums and other decorative devices to seperate some areas for that private touch. Considered by many to be the best club in the sector. This club is owned by Danaan. His staff includes: Evila (a Bolian waitress), Hector (a waiter), and Ione (mysterious waitress)... oh, and can't forget The assistant chef, whose name is not known but the title says it all!

It is still under construction, but it boasts several natural habitats of Federation species, including a small Bolian water garden and a Vulcan desert feature. Each section is environmentally controlled, making the Bolian water garden section humid and the Vulcan desert feature dry and uncomfortably hot for most species. Only 19.7376 percent of the plants designated as Vulcan actually occur naturally any longer on Vulcan. The rest are replications created from extinct plants based on preserved DNA. The Vulcan section also includes a stone bench (like many found on Vulcan) to allow visitors to sit down if they so choose. The arboretum was severely damaged recently in the Gorn war. Restoration is currently underway.
