“The grande dame of Wilmington blends historical significance with modern luxury, a combination that clearly appeals to business travelers and wedding parties. I'm particularly drawn to the Italian Renaissance architecture and the chef-driven French brasserie. It seems an ideal choice for those who appreciate a hotel actively engaged with its local community.”
