Officially, the fully renovated palace was opened on November 5–6, 2008 in the USSR with the concert of People's Artist Zeynab Khanlarova.

Palace is a large-format concert hall that has hosted many of Azerbaijan’s big events over the past 40 years.

Appearance and interior designs, scenery, marble floors and audacious vaulted stairways, the coffee-and-cream foyer, a discreet but extensive cloak room facility, non-analogous sound in Azerbaijan, light, movie projection and laser systems, as well as ordered and installed LED screens are its unique peculiarity.

The Palace is located 700m directly west of the historic train station buildings and 28 Shopping Mall, and just five minutes’ drive from many of the city’s top hotels.

Since then, Formula One made Alstom change the plans and the route of this tram line, which is never happened and project was not implemented yet Media related to Heydar Aliyev Palace at Wikimedia Commons
