The Diplomatic Club

Opened 12 years ago, The Diplomatic Club was built with the purpose of giving diplomats present in Qatar a sense of the Qatari hospitality. Therefore its core value is exclusivity within very elegant and Arabic settings. Those values reflect in its architectural structure which is one of an Arabic palace decorated with Islamic patterns.
