As the name suggests, Buffalo Bill’s Irma Hotel was the brainchild of William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody. After helping found the frontier town of Cody in the 1890s, he set out to build 'just the sweetest hotel that ever was' – and in 1902, the Irma, named after his daughter, opened its doors.

Today, the hotel remains steeped in Wild West charm. Restored rooms – including Buffalo Bill’s own private suite – evoke a bygone era, while modern comforts are thoughtfully woven into the historic setting.
