Get a Room! Historic Western Hotels and Saloons Recall the Golden Era of the West

Allan Affeldt led a group that negotiated for three years and finally moved into the hotel in April 1997. No one would give them a loan so they just started remodeling, room by room, year after year, and people started coming. La Posada has become an icon of the Southwest, a story of redemption and rediscovery. Restoration at La Posada continues—this year a museum will be built in the depot. In 2014, Affeldt also bought the 1898 Castaneda Hotel (under renovation) and the 1882 Plaza Hotel (now open) in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Buffalo Bill’s Irma Hotel :: Cody, Wyoming

Visit the Irma Hotel—a place that Buffalo Bill Cody called “a gem”—just outside of Yellowstone National Park. Cody built the hotel in 1902 and named it for his daughter, Irma. Today, you can stay in historic rooms that housed some of the most famous personalities the world ever has known, including Frederic Remington, Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane. You can even stay in Buffalo Bill’s private suite. There are a host of other historic and non-historic rooms, all with up-to-date amenities and air conditioning. While at Buffalo Bill’s Irma Hotel, sample the famous prime rib; choose from an expansive selection at breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets; or select from a full menu. Enjoy a drink and friendly camaraderie in the Silver Saddle Saloon. Or sit on the porch where Buffalo Bill and Irma sat, and enjoy a meal while you experience the sites of Cody. Fancy enough for royalty and comfortable enough for cowboys and cowgirls, the Irma Hotel is the heart and spirit of Cody, Wyoming! Visit soon. Stay awhile!
