Make the Most of Your Wilmington Stay

Cultural legacy and modern energy

Wilmington stands as Delaware's largest city, where the du Pont family's industrial legacy shapes impressive Gilded Age estates and world-class museums. The Nemours Estate's 77-room mansion and French gardens rival European counterparts, while Winterthur houses the nation's premier American decorative arts collection across 1,000 acres. Downtown's Market Street has evolved into a dining destination competing with Philadelphia, anchored by James Beard-nominated Bardea Food & Drink and Le Cavalier's neo-French cuisine at the historic Hotel Du Pont. The revitalized Riverfront transforms the former shipbuilding hub with a 1.3-mile riverwalk and Chase Center convention facilities.

Business hub with historic depth

Known as the "Corporate Capital of the World," Wilmington's business laws have attracted over 60% of Fortune 500 companies. The compact downtown places legal and financial centers within walking distance of upscale accommodations and sophisticated dining. Hagley Museum preserves the original DuPont gunpowder works along the Brandywine River, offering corporate venues connected to American industrial innovation. The city's position on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor provides frequent high-speed service to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington.

Strategic mid-Atlantic access

The Biden Railroad Station provides seamless Northeast connections, while Philadelphia International Airport sits 30 minutes away. Day trips extend to Longwood Gardens or historic New Castle's colonial architecture. Neighborhoods range from Trolley Square's social energy to Midtown Brandywine's European charm.
