What a great job of restoring a timeless early 20th century Hotel. Everything is in perfect order. The beautiful restaurant on premises with wonderful staff is. Is surprisingly well priced.

It was very nice- but don't count on the $50 credit- ours didn't work for some reason :/

Arrival with valet, check-in with upgrade, wine tasting, recommendations, and bar and restaurant staff, drinks, and food were excellent. Upon checkout, they attempted to charge me for the room and meal that were covered by the Travelzoo voucher. I am still waiting for contact from Hotel DuPont to confirm the charge to my credit card was removed.

A grand hotel in every sense of the word - truly magnificent. My room was very large and nicely decorated. The hotel restaurant, Le Cavalier, was very good with excellent service. Hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend the hotel and plan to return.
