Hotel du Pont

The opulent Hotel du Pont remains the bastion of elegance in the banking center of Wilmington, Delaware, gateway to the Brandywine Valley. This 12-story Italian Renaissance landmark, commissioned by DuPont Company president Pierre du Pont in 1913, features 206 renovated guest rooms and 11 suites with leather-inlaid desks, separate showers and soaking tubs, and two-line phones with voicemail in three languages. The AAA four-diamond Green Room serves sophisticated French cuisine on Versace patterned china in a European setting fit for royalty.

The grandeur of the Hotel du Pont extends to its meeting facilities as well, with 30,000 square feet of function space, including a 20,000-square-foot conference center and an executive conference center on its mezzanine level.
