Wilmington City Hotels with a
Jacuzzi in the Room

No — The Westin Wilmington is a 4-star business hotel with pool, fitness center and bar/lounge but no in-room jacuzzi or shared hot tub advertised. For a Delaware in-room-whirlpool or historic-B&B romance property, drive 20 minutes southeast to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B or 90 minutes south to Rehoboth Beach for The Bellmoor Inn & Spa.

Yes — The Westin sits on Shipyard Drive directly on the Riverfront, walking-distance to Frawley Stadium (Blue Rocks baseball), Delaware Contemporary museum, Riverfront restaurants and the Kalmar Nyckel tall ship dock. The Riverwalk runs along the Christina River from the hotel for morning jogs and evening strolls.

Solid 4-star business hotel with 4.4 cleanliness and rooms subratings, but recent guests describe the property as 'older, well kept but starting to show a bit of wear and tear.' Location, service and value all sit at 4.1 — the softest subratings. A recent guest also noted a hot-water outage flagged in the elevator on arrival that was resolved the same day. Book expecting a solid mid-range business Westin rather than a new-build luxury property.

About 25 minutes north of Wilmington via I-95. PHL is the preferred flight-in for Wilmington business and leisure travelers. Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is about 75 minutes southwest for connecting flights, and Wilmington Amtrak Station is a 5-minute drive from The Westin with Northeast Corridor service to Philadelphia in 25 minutes.

Yes — The Westin is 15-20 minutes south via I-95 or Route 52 from Hagley, Winterthur and Nemours du Pont estates on the Brandywine. Winterthur's Yuletide tours (November-January) and spring garden peaks are the destination-visit windows. Longwood Gardens (Pierre du Pont's conservatory in Kennett Square PA) is 30 minutes north for a Brandywine-du-Pont-family combo day.

Yes for the Riverfront location, walking-distance to downtown Wilmington restaurants and easy 5-minute drive to Amtrak Wilmington Station on the Northeast Corridor. The Westin offers conference facilities, banquet room, business-hotel amenities and a 4.4 cleanliness subrating. Set expectations for an older property — a recent guest called it 'starting to show a bit of wear and tear' — and book expecting a solid mid-range 4-star business hotel rather than a new-build. Corporate weekday rates are steady; weekend rates soften outside Blue Rocks game days and Grand Opera House holiday shows.

About a 5-minute drive or a short cab from The Westin on Shipyard Drive to Wilmington Amtrak Station on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Wilmington is a busy Northeast Corridor stop with Acela Express and Northeast Regional service — about 90 minutes to New York Penn Station, 25 minutes to Philadelphia 30th Street, 45 minutes to Baltimore Penn and about 90 minutes to Washington DC Union Station. Many Wilmington business travelers use The Westin as an overnight base for a day trip up or down the corridor without needing a rental car.

Yes — Frawley Stadium sits directly on the Wilmington Riverfront and is a short walk from The Westin on Shipyard Drive. Wilmington Blue Rocks (High-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals) play a full home schedule April through September. Book a Riverfront-view room, walk to the game, and finish with dinner at a Riverfront restaurant. Weekend games and promotional nights (fireworks Fridays) fill the stadium — book early for summer weekends.

Yes — The Westin Wilmington is 15-20 minutes south via I-95 or Route 52 from all three du Pont estates. Plan Hagley (black-powder mill and du Pont family home) as a morning, Winterthur (American decorative-arts collection and gardens) as a full day (Yuletide tours November-January are a Wilmington highlight), and Nemours (Louis XVI mansion with formal French gardens) as an afternoon. Add Longwood Gardens (30 minutes north in Kennett Square PA) for the Pierre du Pont conservatory. Fall foliage and spring garden peaks are the strongest seasons.

No — The Westin Wilmington is a 4-star business hotel with pool, fitness center, bar/lounge and bicycle rental but no in-room jacuzzi or shared hot tub advertised in TripAdvisor amenities. For a Delaware romance property with a genuine private hot-tub or historic-B&B feel, drive 20 minutes southeast to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B, or 90 minutes south to Rehoboth Beach for The Bellmoor Inn & Spa, the Avenue Inn & Spa (shared indoor pool and hot tub) or the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel (shared hot tub on the Boardwalk).

Yes — Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square PA is about 30 minutes north of The Westin via Route 52 through the Brandywine Valley. Longwood's holiday-lights Christmas display (November-early January) and spring tulip peaks are the destination-visit windows. Combine Longwood with Winterthur (both were Pierre and Henry Francis du Pont estates respectively) for a Brandywine du Pont day — the Wilmington Riverfront is 30-40 minutes south for dinner. Book Longwood tickets in advance for peak weekends.
