The Diplomat Beach Resort is the ultimate South Florida hotel experience, recently bestowed with a Condé Nast Reader’s Choice award and AAA's 4 Diamond status. Enjoy its retro-luxe atmosphere that will make you never want to go home again!

The Hotel of legend, once home to the likes of Frank Sinatra and his 'Rat Pack', Bing Cosby, Bob Hope, as well as multiple Presidents - was regrettably demolished twenty years ago in 1998 to make room for what is now known as the Diplomat Resort and Spa.
