Lounges in Wilmington

Hotel du Pont is one of America's great historic hotels — a 1913 Wilmington landmark built by the DuPont Company at a cost of $2.25 million (extraordinarily expensive for 1913) as a fitting showcase for Delaware's most important corporation. The Green Room's magnificent Louis XVI interior and the Hotel du Pont's extraordinary DuPont family heritage create a cocktail lounge experience of genuine American Gilded Age luxury significance.

Wilmington's cocktail lounge scene serves Delaware's most important city with remarkable sophistication — a DuPont corporate town where the extraordinary concentration of Fortune 500 legal and financial services creates a cocktail market of unusual Mid-Atlantic professional depth. Wilmington's remarkable dual identity as a working-class Rust Belt city and the center of America's corporate legal universe creates a lounge culture of genuine Delaware urban complexity.

Wilmington Riverfront is Delaware's most dynamic entertainment development — a beautifully designed Christina River waterfront where outstanding restaurants, excellent cocktail bars, and the Delaware Children's Museum create the most complete urban waterfront entertainment experience in Delaware. Wilmington Riverfront's extraordinary transformation of an industrial waterfront into a vibrant cultural destination and its remarkable combination of dining, entertainment, and natural beauty create a lounge environment of genuine Delaware urban renaissance significance.

Wilmington's Riverfront cocktail scene serves North Carolina's most historically significant port city — a Cape Fear River community where the remarkable antebellum architecture, outstanding waterfront restaurants, and the extraordinary concentration of film productions (Wilmington is the "Hollywood of the East," home to EUE/Screen Gems Studios, where Ironman 3, The Walking Dead, and dozens of major productions have been filmed) create a lounge culture of genuine American film industry and coastal Southern character.
