Famous entrepreneur and TV personality Lisa Vanderpump is to stretch her hospitality empire further with the opening in early 2026 on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip of The Vanderpump Hotel. The project, which is a partnership between Vanderpump and Caesars Entertainment, represents her first venture into the hotel sector.
Reimagining of The Cromwell
The Vanderpump Hotel will rise from a major renovation of The Cromwell, a boutique property at the crossroads of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. All 188 guest rooms, 19 suites included, along with the hotel lobby, front desk, and casino floor, will be transformed under the renovation. Vanderpump and her design partner, Nick Alain, intend to imbue the property with their star’s inimitable taste, highlighting “sexy elegance and comfort.
Vanderpump’s Vision
Enthusiastically discussing the project, Vanderpump said, “I am excited again to be teaming up with Caesars Entertainment, but this time to enter the hotel space. What an amazing opportunity to create this iconic site into something special, whimsical, and sophisticated.” She also emphasized her love of hospitality and her dedication to creating an opulent atmosphere that showcases her own unique sense of style.
Continued Operations During Renovation
During the course of the renovation, The Cromwell will stay open so that guests may still enjoy its current amenities. Prominent businesses in the hotel, including GIADA—celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis’ eponymous restaurant—Drai’s Beach Club and Nightclub, Drai’s After Hours, and the Caesars Sportsbook, will remain open to customers throughout the transition.
Growing the Vanderpump Brand
The Vanderpump Hotel is the newest addition to Vanderpump’s lucrative businesses in Las Vegas. Her current venues include Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, WOLF by Vanderpump at Harveys Lake Tahoe, and Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas. All of the venues reflect her ability to provide immersive dining and entertainment experiences, and the new hotel is expected to reflect the same sophistication and charm.
Caesars Entertainment’s Viewpoint
Sean McBurney, Caesars Entertainment Regional President, was enthusiastic about taking their relationship with Vanderpump to the next level: “We’ve had a fantastic partnership with Lisa, opening three extremely successful restaurants in Las Vegas. Now we get to take Lisa’s vision and skill to the next level—blessing her talent and imagination with an entire hotel at the most amazing spot on the Las Vegas Strip.”
Projected Guest Experience
Visitors to The Vanderpump Hotel will be able to look forward to a deliberately crafted environment that combines luxury with fantasy. The updated look will feature custom furniture and lighting created by Vanderpump Alain, the interior design company co-founded by Vanderpump and Alain. The emphasis on comfort and elegance is designed to provide an unparalleled hospitality experience that will appeal to new customers as well as to repeat visitors to Vanderpump’s restaurants.
The opening of The Vanderpump Hotel is a bold foray of Lisa Vanderpump’s brand into the hospitality industry. By redesigning The Cromwell as a venue befitting her distinctive character and dedication to service, Vanderpump is positioned to deliver an unparalleled experience on the Las Vegas Strip. With construction on its way to meeting the 2026 opening, anticipation builds around what will be a compelling addition to Las Vegas’s fast-paced hospitality industry.
