Irma Hotel, landmark built in Cody, Wyoming by "Buffalo Bill" Cody
The Irma Hotel is a historic hotel in Cody, Wyoming, built in 1902 by Buffalo Bill Cody and opened in November of that year. The building reflects early 1900s architecture and has been maintained to preserve its original character and layout.
Buffalo Bill Cody founded the hotel in 1902 as a social center for the town. After transferring ownership in 1913, successive owners including Henry and Pearl Newell expanded it in the 1930s to accommodate growing automobile travel.
The hotel was named after Irma Cody, Buffalo Bill's youngest daughter, and still carries her name today. It serves as a connection point for visitors wanting to understand the story of the American West and frontier life.
The hotel operates as both a working lodging and restaurant where visitors can stay and dine. Its location near Yellowstone National Park makes it a practical base for exploring the surrounding region.
The restored cherrywood bar was a gift from Queen Victoria to Buffalo Bill and connects the hotel to international history. This remarkable piece remains one of the most noticed features when visitors explore the building.
