Irma Hotel, Cody, WY - Reviews and Hotel Information

This is a great little old-fashioned hotel right in the center of Cody – to my mind far better than staying in the ubiquitous and anonymous chain motels on the outskirts of town (although in other towns they have their uses of course).

The Irma was founded by Buffalo Bill in 1902 and named after his daughter. He called it "just the sweetest hotel that ever was" and maintained two suites and an office at the hotel for his personal use. The Irma’s famous cherrywood bar dates to the period of construction and is one of the most photographed features in Cody.

You can stay in renovated historic or non-historic rooms. All have modern bathrooms and air conditioning.

All the historic rooms are named after people who used to stay at the hotel. Ours was the Ned Frost room but I haven’t been able to find out anything about him to date (anyone out there recognise the name?) And despite what it says on the website about room rates, we didn't pay any extra for this room, perhaps because it was late in the season - so it's worth asking when you book.

The room had loads of character, as did the bathroom (see the second photo, complete with a bathing Chris!) But all the necessary mod cons were there too, including a TV and hairdryer). Breakfast in the dining room with the famous cherrywood bar added to the experience of our stay here.
