About Diplomat Companies
Our family-owned company was founded in 1981 when Mukesh “Mike” Patel bought his first hotel in Pell City, Alabama.
Today, our core business is still hotels … but we also own and operate companies that are strategically
linked to the hospitality industry or that offer special growth opportunities.
Here’s exactly how we bring together our energy, experience, and expertise to create great experiences for our customers … and great returns for our investment partners.
