What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
We’re as happy as anyone on the planet to see something like the Jasper Hotel in a city like Fargo, North Dakota.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Broadway Square sits right outside the doors, and the historic Fargo Theatre is an easy stroll down Broadway.
The rooms
Rooms on floors nine through fourteen look out over downtown Fargo, decorated in muted prairie tones with local photography.
The sauna and gym
Overhead skylights illuminate the fifth-floor gym, equipped with Peloton bikes. Steps away, a Nordic dry sauna sits beside private showers.
Restaurant
Rosewild
Curved green banquettes sit under slatted timber ceilings, where the kitchen cooks Dakota ranch produce with rustic Nordic methods.
Rosewild Lounge and Bar
Leather stools line a curved bar counter beneath a brass screen, where bartenders mix craft cocktails beside a lobby fireplace.
How it began
It takes its name from Jasper Chapin, a nineteenth-century mayor who first welcomed Red River settlers in canvas tents.
