GRAND HOTEL IN 1913
While any hotel can be an enjoyable means to get away from it all, the Hotel du Pont takes you back in time as well. To a time of craftsmanship and courtesy, ease and elegance, sophistication and style. Born in the mind of Pierre S. du Pont, the Hotel was created to match the international prestige of the Du Pont Company.

A GRAND HOTEL TODAY
Now enlarged and updated, the Hotel du Pont is just as grand as ever. Each spacious room is well appointed with its own separate sitting area; television sets are concealed in mahogany columns, and the luxurious bathrooms have deep soaking tubs and separate showers.

Hotel du Pont is conveniently located in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, in the heart of the Brandywine Valley. Two hours from New York and Washington, D.C., and one hour from Baltimore.

The hotel is just 5 blocks off I-95, minutes from the train station, and 25 minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport.
