Holidays at the Hotel

At the HOTEL DU PONT in Wilmington, Delaware, the holidays are more than a calendar date—they're a feeling. A warm cup of tea in the glow of the Gold Ballroom. A gingerbread house crafted (and maybe half-eaten). A wide-eyed moment with Santa Claus no one forgets. These traditions mean something—and they fill up fast. If celebrating here is part of your holiday tradition, now's the time to reserve your spot.

Extend the magic with our holiday package, including tickets to A Longwood Christmas at Longwood Gardens, one of the Brandywine Valley's most beloved seasonal events. Explore additional local favorites like Yuletide at Winterthur, Holidays at Hagley, and Noel at Nemours, all just minutes from downtown Wilmington. Celebrate, explore, and make this holiday season truly unforgettable at HOTEL DU PONT.
