The name Mereté comes from the blending of two Greek words: Meraki (may-rah-kee) and Areté (ahr-i-tey). Meraki means to do something with passion, love, creativity – to put something of yourself into what you are creating. Areté describes the notion of excellence and the tireless pursuit of one’s full potential. Combining these two concepts into the word Mereté is a statement about who the company is and what it aspires to be. For decades, we have delivered highly effective hotel development and management services throughout the Northwest, exceeding the expectations of owners and investors, and fostering in our associates the next generation of hospitality leaders. Meraki and Areté are the touchstones of our company and our associates.
