Mere Hotel, for the creature comforts

Near the Design Quarter, the Mere Hotel resembles a box of crayons with rows of candy-colored metal tubes surrounding the exterior. This modern hotel features comfortable rooms with king or queen beds and views of the city or the winding Red River. Up-to-the-minute technology, mini-fridges and rainfall showers are standard. Geothermal heating assures a comfortable stay all year round. The historic Forks, a market and food hall, is a 20-minute walk along the Riverwalk, past the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
