What's New at HOTEL DU PONT

What's New at HOTEL DU PONT

Since 1913, HOTEL DU PONT has welcomed guests into a legacy of timeless elegance. This season, we're introducing two new ways to experience it — a private dining destination for intimate gatherings, and our very own beloved cafe, Spark'd Creative Pastry & Coffee, just steps from our front door.

Salon Privé by Le Cavalier

Salon Privé by Le Cavalier

An Intimate New Address for Private Dining 

Tucked beside our new Spark'd lobby café, Salon Privé is Le Cavalier's newly debuted private dining room — a refined space designed for celebrations, business gatherings, and everything in between. The room's original mosaic tile flooring, the same found throughout Le Cavalier, has been carefully uncovered and restored, grounding the space in the hotel's history. Painted in Le Cavalier's signature deep green and appointed with luscious velvet chairs, the room is warmed further by handsome wooden tables and antique refinished wooden buffet pieces. Exclusive Sophie du Pont artwork and sketches line the walls, completing a space that feels both storied and intentionally set apart. Curated seasonal menus and impeccable service bring the acclaimed Le Cavalier experience into a setting made for your guest list alone.

  • Custom event menus crafted by Le Cavalier's culinary team
  • Approximately 670 square feet & seats up to 36 guests, ideal for intimate dinners & celebrations
  • Steps from the lobby, in the heart of HOTEL DU PONT

New Spark'd Location

Spark'd Creative Pastry & Coffee

A Sweet Homecoming

Spark'd Creative Pastry & Coffee has landed just off the HOTEL DU PONT lobby — its second location, and a return to the place where it all began. Led by Executive Pastry Chef Leah Ferrara, the hotel's own bake shop team crafts every pastry, cake, and confection in-house daily, from scratch. The space is just as vibrant as what's on the menu: signature saffron chairs and lavender walls set the tone, while custom lemon leather banquettes, and finishes in wood, brass, and marble complete the look. Café seating spills from inside Spark'd into the surrounding lobby area, making it easy to settle in or grab and go. Start your day with expertly pulled espresso, specialty beverages, and delectable pastries, without ever stepping outside.

  • Hours | Monday–Friday 7AM–2PM ·Saturday–Sunday 7AM–12PM
  • Located just off the main lobby of HOTEL DU PONT
  • A perfect stop before meetings, tours, or a day in Wilmington
