Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Wilmington

Wilmington's neighborhoods each serve different travel styles, from the buzzing Riverfront to the quiet estates of Brandywine Valley. Here is what to expect in each area.

Downtown and Riverfront ($110-200/night)

The Riverfront is Wilmington's entertainment hub with restaurants, a minor league stadium, and the Delaware Children's Museum. Business hotels cluster near Market Street, with easy Amtrak access to Philadelphia and Washington DC. Evening dining options have expanded significantly in recent years.

Trolley Square ($90-160/night)

This walkable neighborhood features craft breweries, independent restaurants, and a neighborhood pub scene. Hotels here tend to be smaller boutique properties. The area is a 10-minute walk from downtown and popular with couples and food-focused travelers.

Greenville ($180-300/night)

North of the city, Greenville sits in the heart of du Pont country. Upscale hotels and bed-and-breakfasts here put you minutes from Winterthur, Hagley Museum, and fine dining. This is where luxury travelers and garden enthusiasts base themselves.

Brandywine Valley ($120-250/night)

The rolling hills west of Wilmington contain Longwood Gardens, wineries, and scenic trails. Boutique inns and country hotels cater to visitors seeking a slower pace. The valley is 15-25 minutes from downtown by car.

Seasonal Hotel Prices in Wilmington

Spring (April-June) is peak season, driven by garden blooms at Longwood and Winterthur. Budget hotels average $75-100 during spring and $60-80 in winter. Luxury properties range from $200-300 in peak and $160-220 off-peak. Corporate travel keeps midweek rates slightly higher than weekends in downtown, but Brandywine Valley reverses this pattern with weekend demand.
