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.

This is a nice, classy old hotel from an era of bygone elegance. The rooms are a little dated, but on the surface they appear to have maintained it well. The restaurant was good, the bar was nice, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the price was reasonable and the staff was friendly. All in all a nice... More

Had great stay in Sept, 2012. Comfy king size bed. Huge bathroom with bath tub & separate shower. Dressing table just for the ladies!!! Only down side was that the sofa bed was rather springy and they really couldn't accommodate early arrivers. So had to really rush in getting ready for a wedding.

Took my wife were for her birthday. Beautiful hotel lobby and wonderful room and fabulous service. All that is ruined by no ice machines (who the hell does room service only ice anymore)and no coffee machine in the room. If you want a machine (which is standard in every room from your el cheapo motel six to the Marriotts) you... More
