Newark, DE Exit 4: Envision royal swans gliding across water, fountains and sparkling chandeliers if you at the Hilton Wilmington Christiana. The ambiance, decor and experience specialist in the lobby are all designed to transport you back to a time when Delaware socialites welcomed guests into their homes and entertained them in royal style.
Each evening in Spring, Summer and Fall, at 5:30 pm, guests make their way to the pond for the Royal Swan Feeding Ceremony: Once upon a time a handsome swan prince named Fred and a beautiful swan princess named Ethel met beak-to-beak under the fountain in the pond. Brandy and Cindy are the 7th generation of swans to grace the pond.
Each evening the Royal Swan Master in his tux summons them with a bell and staff and leads them to their feeding. This ceremony is open to the public, and all are welcome to participate and meet the swan family. Afterwards you can dine in their Brasserie Grille.
