President-elect Joe Biden’s Hometown Makes for the Perfect Weekend Escape — Where to Eat, Sleep, and Play
In the mid-20th century, Wilmington was a company town — everyone worked for DuPont.

Part of the building is dedicated to Hotel du Pont, a restored grand dame with spacious rooms sporting city views. The hotel’s fabled Green Room, where movers and shakers dined for decades, has been transformed by Philadelphia chef Tyler Akin into Le Cavalier, a French brasserie with North African accents and an excellent natural wine list.
