The Hotel Dupont is certainly the best in class in the area and a 4 ½ star overall. Many presidents, ambassadors, kings etc have stayed there and stayed again. Some info at: http://www.dupont.com/hotel/home.htm . Itsa classic European hotel in a second class small city.

My recommendation and a close 4 star second is the Christiana Hilton about 6-10 min outta Wimington via I-95. The Hilton has a nice pool, very good restaurant and special golf etc packages and outings. The 4th floor executive lounge has many hours of free booze, really nice hors d vours etc. Itsa well worth the additional cost over the regular rooms. Some info at: http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/i...tyhocn=ILGCHHF

They wont go wrong with either location. You can forget the other places except for http://www.besthotelsresorts.com/montchanin.htm . I have had friends stay there, far prefer it to the 2 hotels above and they love it. I enjoy the restaurant.
