The Hotel Du Pont is a reminder of the grand era of great hotels. The rooms are very nice and are larger than most other hotel rooms. The challenge is that the service does not match the decor. Even when calling in advance it still took 30+ minutes for someone to bring my car around at 8 AM. The folks... More

Opening day was January 15, 1913 and has had many notable guests. Our room was lovely and elegant, having a living room area and bedroom area. We were guests for a wedding with the reception in the beautiful ball room on the entrance level; the food provided by the hotel was okay, service during reception good. The staff was very... More

Quaint hotel that has been remodeled. Spacious rooms. Excellent coffee shop with chia tea. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great valet option for parking. Wifi available at no extra charge. Within walking distance to restaurants and the duPont Theater is adjoining to the hotel.

We were in town for a wedding and this was the hotel information provided by the Bride and Groom. Great choice. The room was beautifully appointed. The staff was courteous and helpful and incredibly friendly. Room service (very late at night) was excellent and great value. The beauty of the building is extraordinary and we were very happy to have... More

This hotel is about a fairly easy 30min drive from PHL airport and is located on one of the main roads into Wilmington, so is easy to find. Valet parking is on offer, but the cars are located a few blocks away so you’ll need to give about 20mins notice if you want to pick it up. This can also... More

Hotel has been completely remodeled and updated but retains the "old elegance" that is du Pont. The guest rooms(suites) are elegant and so comfortable , you may not want to leave. Food and drink quality and service are definitely top drawer. All the staff so friendly, you'd think you were a guest in someone's home. Not inexpensive, so bring your... More

The hotel and rooms are definitely five star. food and service is excellent. Self parking is a bit of a negative but manageable. Coffee shop staff was very friendly and had a great selection if looking for a quick grab and go.

We stayed at the Hotel du pont for several days leading up to our wedding (in the Gold Ballroom). The service was top notch and every member of the staff that we dealt with did an excellent job. The food is amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast delivery to the room.

The hotel is very fancy, staff is very accommodating, and room was luxurious. I've stayed here a couple times, last stay being April 2012, not May as it says, and the only complaint that I have is the parking. It's annoying that you need to wait for valet to drive your car over, and the garage must be several blocks... More

The hotel retains a wonderful sense of old world charm without seeming stuffy. At the same time, modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi are readily available. The rooms are large, the staff friendly and the location is convenient. Overall, this is an excellent hotel.
