ARRIVE Wilmington

The rooms were exceptionally clean, modern, and cozy. The location was great to explore downtown Wilmington on foot. We came when it was quite cold, so we didn't get to enjoy all of the outdoor seating areas, but they looked inviting.

That being said, it was a sparkly clean hotel with a nice courtyard in an unbeatable location. The rooms are newly renovated and very stylish. The linens and the toiletries were so good that I took notes of the brands. And the mattress and pillows were also very nice. They did not cut any cost in ensuring the highest quality. We visited in winter, so sitting around the fire in the courtyard felt really good. Bonus points for that.

ARRIVE has created a true oasis in the absolute center of downtown Wilmington. Not necessarily known to be a luxurious City, the Hotel is probably the nicest place you'll visit during your stay. Elegant finishings and a stocked snack bar were great. The inner courtyard is lush with green and welcoming, with a gazebo bar, soft couches with firepits and cozy corners for conversation. TIP: Ask for a room on the second floor overlooking the front courtyard.

The boutique feel of the hotel was well done. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the darkening shades. The bath towels were very soft which is always a nice surprise when so many hotels have poor towels that feel like sandpaper. The room was very clean and the staff were responsive; when we ran out of kleenex they brought a replacement immediately. The restaurant was quaint but the breakfast was a bit pricey.

The location was stunning, with a cute gazebo bar, fun rooms, and a great walkable location within Wilmington. Staff was super communicate and helpful, and we even had a nice breakfast at the attached restaurant. Fire pits were a bonus!
