Oak and mahogany paneling, chandeliers, original artwork by the Wyeth family and others, plus elegant restaurants, all provide an impressive welcome.
Rooms feature excellent beds, goose-down pillows, a leather-inlaid desk, a safe, two phone lines, and voice mail. Another thing I appreciated was the swiveling TV. It made it possible for one of us to watch TV in the living room area while the other napped undisturbed in the bedroom. Large, well-lit bathrooms include a deep soaking tub for one.
Overnight deals designed for romance at the Hotel du Pont include an Anniversary Getaway and a Celebrations Package. The latter includes a tower of treats, breakfast, and a complimentary bottle of chilled champagne. Taxes and gratuities, and of course accommodations, are included in both rates.
The Hotel du Pont is a member of the Historic Hotels of America and a winner of the Mobil Four-Star and AAA Four-Diamond awards.
