    The hotel has an interesting history. For over 100 years, the Irma has been a symbol of neighborliness and good cheer where people could relax and be themselves. Everyone from Colonel Cody, to princes and potentates, Indian chiefs and cowboys “came as they were” to the Irma.
    The hotel was opened to the public on November 1, 1902. A grand opening celebration followed on November 18.  Buffalo Bill spent ,000 in 1902 dollars on construction costs. He named the hotel for his youngest daughter Irma, born February 9, 1886.

    roaming the hallways at night.
