Hotel Du Pont – Delaware’s Gilded Age Hotel
Weddings and celebrations at Hotel Du Pont are a thing of magic. The storied past of this elegant hotel and the people who have graced the halls are interesting enough, but this 1913 hotel has kept its sophistication and grandeur all these years.

Wedding guests will enjoy a sumptuous meal and impeccable service all inside the opulent Gold Room adorned with stunning chandeliers and a gilded ceiling.

Relax in this secluded 26-acre nirvana complete with lush manicured gardens, tranquil infinity pool, on-site spa and 78 beautifully appointed rooms.
Tying the knot here is as idyllic as the setting it’s in. To exchange vows, choose from a waterfront event, their grand ballroom or a storybook garden. It is no surprise this resort has been rated the best and most beautiful hotel in Maryland by both Condé Nast Traveler and Architectural Digest.
