The staff and room service food were excellent. The amenities (private car service, valet, room service) were excellent. The room itself was not what we expected for $800.
The experience was wonderful. Beautiful room and helpful and friendly staff.We stayed here last eight years ago, and again it was a wonderful experience. With one exception. On our last visit, dinner and breakfast were truly exceptional, attentive staff and delicious food served in an atmosphere of quiet elegance. The staff are still wonderful and the food is exceptional. But now there is an extremely noisy bar with excessively loud music which made conversation very difficult.

Every employee that we encountered was friendly, professional, and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The Christmas tree in the lobby was beautiful and created a magical, holiday vibe. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and plentiful. We loved every minute of our stay.

The gentleman at the desk when we arrived late was so sweet and made us feel very welcomed. He had our keys ready and asked if we needed anything since it was late, offered us a late check out to allow us to sleep in. Beautiful room and the bed was so comfortable. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience! The Hotel DuPont is a lovely hotel that harkens back to the Gilded Age! Very well maintained with a friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is very good (and elegant) and it is walking distance to all the fun bars and restaurants on Market Street.
Amazing stay! Exceptionally clean! Very comfortable beds, very friendly and courteous staff. We were there for my nephews wedding, after party and brunch on Sunday. All of our meals were absolutely fabulous.
Great hotel building. We were upgraded to a very large suite as a nice surprise. Dinner in le cavalier was a treat. So was breakfast the following morning.
We had a very nice stay. The hotel was clean and service was good. We were given an impressive tour by a security guard who knew the history and decor of the building which helped us to notice the thematic patters throughout the hotel.
The Le Cavalier restaurant was very nice, service excellent and food was outstanding.
