A holdover from the glory days of Wilmington, Delaware’s DuPont family’s real estate prowess, the hotel bearing its name still stands as the jewel of the city’s downtown. Take a sojourn into the past and fall in love with the Hotel Du Pont.
A showcase of architectural flair, the building’s original grandeur can be seen in its gold-accented ceilings, French-influenced reliefs and a showstopping stone staircase with intricate ironwork. The 217 king- and queen-sized quarters are classically appointed and feature marble baths with jetted soaker tubs.
The Currie Day Spa offers salon services and body treatments, and gym facilities are available. Dine at the art deco Le Cavalier restaurant with its lush seating, Palladian windows and fine cuisine. Nearby attractions include Longwood Gardens, a botanical paradise, and the Brandywine Museum of Art, fine art with an emphasis on works from N.C. Wyeth, whose original nearby studio can be toured.
