Make the Most of Your New Castle Stay

A capital's quiet legacy

New Castle stands as Delaware's original capital, where William Penn first stepped onto American soil and colonial assembly members voted for independence. The town's cobblestone streets and preserved Federal and Georgian architecture create an atmosphere that feels like a living document of early American governance. The New Castle Court House, built in 1732, marks the center of the 12-mile arc forming Delaware's distinctive northern boundary, while The Green, laid out by Peter Stuyvesant in the 1650s, remains the heart of this riverside community.

Refined experiences along the Delaware

The Strand's grand Federal mansions overlook the Delaware River, with the Read House representing the pinnacle of early 19th-century American architecture through its elaborate formal rooms and gardens. Jessop's Tavern serves colonial-inspired cuisine in a 300-year-old building, while the Dutch House offers a glimpse into the town's 17th-century origins. Battery Park provides riverfront trails connecting to Wilmington.

Strategic positioning

Located 10 minutes from Wilmington and 45 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport, New Castle serves as a sophisticated alternative to standard business hotels. The town's proximity to the Brandywine Valley's du Pont estates, including Winterthur and Longwood Gardens, adds cultural depth to any visit.
