Overview
Since 1913, HOTEL DU PONT -- a Historic Hotel of America -- has hosted elite members of society such as Prince Rainier of Monaco, President John F. Kennedy and Eleanor Roosevelt. This 4-star property is the grand dame of Delaware hotels and sits in the heart of downtown Wilmington.
Guests are welcomed into a lavish lobby that radiates “old school glamour” (Conde Nast Traveler). Everything from the painted ceiling, furnishings and marble walls is posh and art-inspired. Rooms are styled with old-world European decor and offer a spacious, a home-away-from-home stay. Features include a separate sitting area, deep soaking tubs and free Wi-Fi. There’s a 24-hour fitness center on site for all guests to use. The hotel also offers a free car service to and from the downtown Amtrak train station, based on availability and advance notice.
Known for impeccable food and service (and hosting some A-listers and historical figures), the Green Room is a must-visit; this on-site restaurant has earned many awards, including the state's only AAA 4-Diamond award for a restaurant. Previous guests say the Sunday brunch is the best in town. The Lobby Lounge is also open for casual afternoon tea, light fare or happy hour with live tunes on the grand piano.
The city of Wilmington is small, but has a vibrant arts and social scene, with restaurants, tax-free shopping and the Brandywine Valley museums and art galleries nearby. Among many museums nearby, Longwood Gardens, a 25-minute drive away, was just voted as the Best Botanical Garden in the nation by USA Today's 10Best. The Winterthur Museum and Gardens, a 15-minute drive away, is home to 700 acres of naturalistic gardens, woodlands and museum galleries. The Playhouse on Rodney Square, located in the building, is a famed theater dating back to 1913; it hosts national Broadway performances, comedies and concerts.

If this is the signature hotel of the city of Wilmington, Wilmington has a long way to go to become a destination. Having stayed at other Historic Hotels, like the Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, I was expecting a similar experience. From the start, there were issues -- from a TINY room, to a 3/4 window shade/blind that wouldn't go up (even though the view was of the back of the building, daylight is nice) to the front desk staff who didn't know whether meters were being enforced on the Presidents Day holiday and wouldn't look it up when I asked if they could find out, to the cafe being closed during regular hours to due to a private party (but no sign of anyone in there) and having to eat in the bar where I paid $9 for one beer, to no maps of the local area for running (so I mapped out my own routes, one of which I would not recommend) to no knowledge of the property's history or any sense of pride in the city/local attractions, etc. -- I even got a snarky reply when I threw them a bone in the hopes that they might promote their property or show some enthusiasm by asking if there was a story behind the macaroons -- the front desk gentleman just said "Du Pont was French, macaroons are French" -- he might as well have said - "duh" at the end because that was his tone. Just an overall grumpy vibe -- not welcoming at all. And the hotel was practically empty, so it wasn't like they were too busy to go the extra (or even first) mile. Bottom line: I saw the special rate and booked this as a treat, but $119 per night was no bargain for this level of indifference. I hope this was an aberration, or maybe they just don't like Travelzoo guests as much as those who pay full price! I would recommend that management do an all-staff (or at least front desk) training on customer service, property history, and Wilmington pride. Thanks for asking.

Was a little disappointed that the desk staff would not allow us to have the wedding gift bag because we booked through Travelzoo which was cheaper than the wedding block. The family had made extra bags because they knew people did this but they still did not budge.

One big disappointment: Had booked afternoon tea for day of arrival so made our outing plans accordingly. Checked in, got dressed up for tea and arrived to find our reservation had been erroneously entered for the following week by the person taking the reservation.
There was plenty of space however we could not have a Royal Tea. We were told we could order a cup of tea and sandwich off the menu - not the same experience at all.
And because it was 3:30, it was then too late to be able to make an alternative choice to tour the DuPont estates which all close at 4pm. Very disappointing.
Note: we breakfasted in Green Room - seemed understaffed and staff seemed very harried and not especially friendly.

Great place to stay. Make sure you keep your Do not Disturb sign on the door or you will be harassed by housekeeping.

Quiet, clean and close to the Riverwalk area (less than 2 miles).

The Breakfast service at the Cafe was very disorganized and having a reservation didn't seem to matter. It seemed they were short-staffed, as there were plenty of available tables, but guests were not being seated . Once we did receive our food, it was very good.

Hotel staff is full service, and everyone had a very positive attitude. Very pleasant atmosphere!!
Rich in style and tradition and often compared to the Plaza Hotel in New York, HOTEL DU PONT is easily the best hotel in all of Delaware. Stays at this grande dame are an experience, and now Travelzoo members save 60% on weekends through June, including Memorial Day Weekend.
