HOTEL DU PONT

HOTEL DU PONT An architectural icon, an internationally renowned hotel, and the pride of Delaware, HOTEL DU PONT has many stories to tell.

For business or leisure, HOTEL DU PONT is an iconic hotel positioned for today with great accommodations, meeting spaces and food & beverage options, all within a stunning architecture and history that has energized guests for over a century. Nestled in the heart of Wilmington, Delaware and the picturesque Brandywine Valley, one of the country's grandest hotels is as rich in history and tradition

as it is in atmosphere. The hotel remains committed to retaining the warmth and splendor that have made us so highly regarded for over a century. To step inside is to find yourself transported back to a time of craftsmanship and courtesy, of ease and elegance, sophistication and style, an era when people knew how to travel in style and expected the very best. Those values are preserved today in the service we provide each and every guest.

Meron and Chris were in each other's orbit for years — same high school, same friend group — before the universe finally made the introduction official in 2022. Their first date was New Year's Day 2023: hours of conversation and a walk through West Chester that made it clear this was something real. Chris made it permanent on a Jersey Shore beach at dusk, pink roses, a hand-lettered sign, and his family waiting nearby to celebrate.

For their wedding, there was only one venue. Meron had always envisioned an art deco wedding, and HOTEL DU PONT — with its ornate details and historic grandeur — was everything she pictured. They exchanged vows in the du Barry Room and danced the night away with their guests in the Gold Ballroom. Every piece of décor was handcrafted by the mother of the bride, and Chris even took dance lessons to make sure the first dance was one to remember.

Two people who spent years unknowingly finding their way back to each other — and when it came time to celebrate, HOTEL DU PONT was the only place that could hold a love story this good. 🤍
