Information may not be reliable

We’d like to introduce you to the Grand Old Lady of Cody, the Irma Hotel. The hotel was opened to the public on November 1, 1902. A grand opening celebration followed on November 18. Buffalo Bill spent $80,000 in 1902 dollars on construction costs. He named the hotel for his youngest daughter Irma, born February 9, 1886. Cody stayed in the hotel frequently when he returned from his Wild West Show tours. His personality and fame kept the Irma packed when he was in town.
