I'm kind-of at a loss as to how to make it so people will want to go to his grotto, and even -more- at a loss as to how to make going there both necessary and -interesting- for the rest of the PC's.
You can't.

Anyone whose dealt with this playbook, or this player type, willing to give me some advice?
you have two choices, one is proactive and harsh*, they other is reactive and harsh*.
Basically, either in advance or if it comes be a problem in game; you need to tell him to suck it up and realize that the game doesn't revolve around his character. If no one wants to have anything to do with his "embassy" or its rules, they won't. So he can accept it and play in his threads by himself, or deal with it and join the game.
* You don't have to be harsh, but I suck at being anything other than brutally upfront, so my advice might could use some tempering.
