Without doubt the trendiest place in downtown Fargo, Hotel Donaldson is a boutique hotel / bar / restaurant / art gallery / music venue under one, century-old roof. Once virtually derelict, it was renovated in 2000 and has become something of a flagship in the rebranding of Fargo as a tourist destination. Hotel rooms feature upmarket music systems.
If you go:
The HoDo restaurant kitchens are supplied by local growers and ranchers; and the bar is stocked with fashionable micro-brewery beers - it's that kind of place.
