Clubul Diplomatic hosts corporate dinners, award ceremonies, year-end parties and weddings in two event rooms: the Ballroom Ambasador, for up to 220 seated or 400 standing guests, and the Salon N. Grigorescu, for up to 90 seated or 200 standing. The club sits in the north of Herăstrău Park in Bucharest, on the shore of the lake, at Șoseaua București-Ploiești 2B in Sector 1.
Seminars and company events
The club presents itself as a place for private and corporate events. Past events listed on its site include corporate and business gatherings, international fashion competitions, award ceremonies, year-end parties and lunches and dinners for foreign heads of state and officials. For a company dinner or a gala, the Salon N. Grigorescu is the more intimate choice, and the ballroom suits larger receptions. The site does not describe seminar equipment, so projection, microphones and room layouts for working sessions should be confirmed with the team.
For each event the Salon N. Grigorescu comes with a conference manager who acts as the single contact. The club also states that its staff has long experience with recurring business meetings, and that table layout, lighting and staff attire are part of the event design.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and baptisms have been held in both rooms. The Ballroom Ambasador is described as already decorated to a standard that needs little extra decor, and in-house organizers take care of the planning steps for complex events, so organizers do not need to hire outside contractors. A custom menu and several services are included at no extra charge, according to the club. The Salon N. Grigorescu is described for small weddings and christenings.
Rooms and capacities
Ballroom Ambasador: 220 guests seated at tables, 400 standing. Salon N. Grigorescu: 90 guests seated at tables, 200 standing, with classical artworks on the walls. The Restaurant Diplomat is a separate space for private and corporate events and opens onto an outdoor garden. A barbecue area and a pool lounge with pool bars complete the outdoor offer, and the grounds also hold a golf area, eight tennis courts and two football fields. The site does not give capacities for the restaurant, the garden or the pool lounge.
Catering
The club runs its own restaurant and offers a custom menu for events. The pool bars serve cocktails prepared by professional bartenders. The site does not describe menus, dietary options or the use of outside caterers.
History and setting
The club lies on the lake side of Herăstrău Park, in one of the northern districts of Bucharest. It describes itself as an urban retreat where members and guests can swim, play tennis, golf or football, or simply spend time with friends and family. The site also has a members section, so access to the sports facilities may be reserved for members.
Getting there
The address is Șoseaua București-Ploiești 2B, Sector 1, on the road that leads north out of the city toward Ploiești and the airport. The event sales contact is listed on the site.
