Buffalo Bill's Irma Hotel & Restaurant is a living piece of American history located in the heart of Cody, Wyoming. Built by William 'Buffalo Bill' Cody himself in 1902, the property serves as both a functional hotel and a museum of the Old West. Guests can choose between historic suites filled with Victorian-era antiques or more standard accommodations. The on-site restaurant is renowned for its prime rib buffet and the massive cherrywood bar, a gift from Queen Victoria. While the building's age brings immense character—including original artwork, guns behind the bar, and family photos—it also means some rooms may experience noise from the bustling kitchen or historic plumbing. It remains a must-visit landmark for those wanting to immerse themselves in the spirit of the frontier.

Buffalo Bill's Irma Hotel & Restaurant is widely praised for its immersive historical atmosphere and connection to the legendary Buffalo Bill. Guests frequently mention the 'step back in time' feeling, highlighting the beautiful antique decor, original cherrywood bar, and family memorabilia. The restaurant receives high marks for its food quality, particularly the prime rib buffet and bread pudding, though some find the pricing a bit high for standard breakfast items. Service is generally described as friendly and accommodating, even for large groups. However, several reviewers caution about noise issues, specifically mentioning banging pipes in certain rooms and early morning sounds from the kitchen or street traffic. Despite these quirks of an older building, most visitors find it a charming and essential Cody experience.
