Las Vegas, NV – Reality star, restaurateur and interior design enthusiast Lisa Vanderpump is set to leave a lasting mark on the Las Vegas Strip with the planned opening of Vanderpump Hotel. Working in close partnership with Caesars Entertainment, the TV celebrity plans to open the doors of her hotel in early 2026, following a major renovation of The Cromwell.
Vanderpump says she’s excited for the challenge of renovating instead of building anew. “It is just going to be another passion project … working with the parameters of the hotel walls,” she told People.
Sean McBurney, regional president of Caesars Entertainment, expressed pride in the partnership: “Now we get to take Lisa’s vision … infusing her talent and creativity into an entire hotel at the most incredible location on the Las Vegas Strip.”
What to Know
Location & Property
Vanderpump Hotel will replace the existing Cromwell Hotel at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. Unlike some previous Vegas developments, the existing hotel won’t be torn down. Instead, the current structure will be refurbished and reimagined – transforming the existing 188 rooms and 19 suites into “attainable luxury” under the trademark Vanderpump aesthetic.
Design & Vision
To translate her vision into reality, Vanderpump is partnering with her longtime design sidekick, Nick Alain. The duo will work together to bring through the brand’s signature style – visually dramatic, luxurious, and distinct – while adhering to the constraints of the existing structure.
Previous Ventures of Lisa Vanderpump
Vanderpump is no stranger to Las Vegas, having completed various projects in the city. Her repertoire of successful ventures includes Vanderpump Cocktail Garden (2019), Vanderpump à Paris (2022), and most recently, Pinky’s by Vanderpump (2024). Vanderpump Hotel marks her first hotel project on The Strip.
What This Means for Las Vegas & the Boutique Hotel Scene
Over the years, Las Vegas has become synonymous with large-scale hotels and resorts that encompass casinos, restaurants, bars, and shopping areas. While this might draw in the crowds, the focus on the individual is often lost.
Vanderpump Hotel is set to address this by creating an intimate, boutique space for visitors looking for a more personalised experience. The hotel’s strategic location, close to local landmarks like the High Roller Observation Wheel, Fly LINQ Zipline, and the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck, further adds to its attractiveness.
For those already familiar with the Vanderpump brand, the hotel will embody Lisa’s ethos by offering its guests a unique opportunity to live the “Vanderpump lifestyle”. Besides the carefully curated dining and entertainment, the entire space embodies her aesthetic and signature touches.
What to Watch For
- Sneak peeks at room designs or suite concepts, especially the way Vanderpump balances luxury with “attainable” pricing.
- Dining and entertainment offerings within the hotel – Vanderpump’s track record suggests there will be signature restaurants or bars.
- How the renovation balances historic or older architectural features of The Cromwell with Vanderpump’s modern design elements.
- Marketing & branding roll-out, including whether there will be any reality TV tie-ins or behind-the-scenes content. Vanderpump has hinted she’s considering documenting the process, but says that getting everything “in the Vanderpump style” first is the priority.
Final Word
Vegas is awaiting with bated breath for the launch of Vanderpump Hotel – one of the most anticipated hotel launches on The Strip in recent years. With her own brand, strong design partner, and the entire Caesars infrastructure behind her, Lisa Vanderpump is set to take the next big step in her evolutionary journey – from restaurateur and entertainer to hotelier. If all goes to plan, 2026 will mark the arrival of a new kind of luxury stay in Las Vegas – one with pink accents, flair, and unmistakable Vanderpump charm.
