We’re as happy as anyone on the planet to see something like the Jasper Hotel in a city like Fargo, North Dakota. In a region settled by Scandinavians it’s perhaps not a shock to see a Nordic accent in the design of these handsome rooms and suites, or a touch of the Norwegian/Danish reverence for coziness. Standing some 18 stories above downtown, and containing 125 rooms and suites, it’s a substantial addition to the city — as is its restaurant, Rosewild, which serves Dakotan/Plains fare sourced from local farmers and ranchers, in preparations influenced by rural Nordic flavors and techniques.
