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.

Some invitations only come once. ✨

Step into The Gatsby Garden Retreat at HOTEL DU PONT — where F. Scott Fitzgerald once frequented, and literary elegance still lives in every corner.

Two nights in our newly appointed Signature Suite. Tours through the Brandywine Valley's grand estates — your choice of Hagley Museum, Nemours Estate, Winterthur, or Longwood Gardens. Evenings at the iconic Green Room Bar, sipping a Gatsby-inspired cocktail flight where Fitzgerald himself once sat.

A curated library, a keepsake journal and pen, fresh blooms inspired by the season — because some escapes should feel like chapters worth remembering. 📖🥂

Book your own Gatsby summer. Link in bio.

Best Wedding Venue. Best Hotel. Best Place to Stay on Your Wedding Night. Again.

We've been fortunate to hold these titles before — but repeat recognition means something different. It means the standard never slipped. It means every wedding, every stay, every small moment of hospitality still gets our full effort, whether it's your first visit or your fifth. This one is for the team that makes "Best of Delaware" a habit, not a headline.

Thank you, Delaware, for holding us to it. We'll be celebrating with the rest of this year's winners at the Best of Delaware party on August 6 — come say hello. 🥂

It started at an Oktoberfest in New York City, then sparked back to life at SantaCon months later — a reunion that felt like fate. Six and a half years, countless hikes, and one sunrise proposal atop a mountain in Banff, Canada later, the couple said "I do" surrounded by 155 guests, great music, and vows they'd written just for each other.

It wasn't long before she came for a tour of HOTEL DU PONT — and fell in love at first sight. "The moment I discovered that HOTEL DU PONT existed, I knew I wanted to get married there. We stepped through the front doors for our tour, and all of our dreams immediately came true. Every time I walk through those doors, the hotel takes my breath away."

Congratulations to Jenna & Garrett— may your love story be as timeless as the halls that hosted it. 🤍
