"Ambassadors Clubhouse takes its inspiration from a real house and a real ambassador, whose portrait hangs above the staircase in these fabricated digs."
"The Sethis sought to re-create not only his 'party mansion,' but the entire period before the British Empire divided the region into India and Pakistan at the end of the Raj."
"This Clubhouse is a historical fiction, not a history lesson, allowing guests to enjoy the ambiance without confronting the complexities of the region's past."
"The decor features framed portraits of Punjabi rajas, blending cultural heritage with modern dining, creating a unique atmosphere for guests."
Ambassadors Clubhouse, opened in February, is inspired by a real ambassador's summer home in Punjab. The venue aims to recreate the opulence of a historical party mansion while subtly referencing the region's complex history. The owners, the Sethi siblings, have established a successful dining experience that combines high-end cuisine with cultural storytelling. The decor features portraits of Punjabi rajas and a playful nod to pop culture, creating a unique atmosphere that invites guests to enjoy without delving into the historical context of the region's partition.
