Wilmington Accommodations

Wilmington is the largest city in the state of Delaware, United States and approx 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is a wide variety of accommodation, vacation rental and condo rental options and all sort of lodging on offer.

The city has very good transport links and the proximity give Wilmington some of the features of a satellite city to Philadelphia. With Wilmington's lengthy history as the most important city in Delaware, its noteworthy urban core, and its self-determining worth as a business destination makes it more properly considered a small but independent city in the Philadelphia area. There is no shortage of accommodations, vacation rentals or condo rentals for both business and personal travelers.

Wilmington has a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, almost tropical summers. Cold snaps in winter are generally short lived and almost never drop below zero. Heat waves can happen anytime from June through September although the ocean moderates the temperatures some.

Visitors can explore these districts at their leisure and also enjoy accommodations and vacation rentals reflecting each individual area.

Quaker Hill, one of the Historic Districts, was founded by Quakers William Shipley and Thomas West in the early 18th century. The nearby Meeting House keeps Quaker Hill closely tied to its rich history.
