“I am thrilled to once again be partnering with Caesars Entertainment, this time to venture into the hotel business,” said Vanderpump. “What an extraordinary opportunity to develop this iconic location into something unique, playful and upscale. Hospitality has always been our passion, and our mission is to create something sumptuous with a unique atmosphere. Our successful history has always been based on the individuality of the location. Through my design company, Vanderpump Alain, with my partner Nick Alain, we can’t wait to breathe new life into this property and make it something truly magical.”
The hotel marks the reality television star and entrepreneur’s first foray into hotels and follows the success of her many ventures in wine, spirits and restaurants and lounges, including Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, WOLF by Vanderpump at Harveys Lake Tahoe and, most recently, Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas.
“We’ve had a phenomenal partnership with Lisa, developing three very successful restaurants in Las Vegas,” said Sean McBurney, regional president, Caesars Entertainment. “Now we get to take Lisa’s vision and expertise to the next level—infusing her talent and creativity into an entire hotel at the most incredible location on the Las Vegas Strip. Nowhere else in the world can guests experience The Vanderpump Hotel, and we couldn’t be more proud to debut it.”
Vanderpump will bring her aesthetic and design to enhance the hotel reception and front desk area, introduce an all-new lounge and redesign the 188 guestrooms and suites. The design will feature signature Vanderpump Alain furnishings and lighting fixtures and, as always with Vanderpump projects, everything will be bespoke and created specifically for the location. As a hotel, there will be an emphasis on sexy elegance and comfort, with gorgeous rooms and a fresh, new feel to the casino floor,” according to the company. Vanderpump will also hand-select the amenities for hotel guests.
“The Vanderpump Hotel represents the identity behind the name we know and respect—Lisa Vanderpump—whose strong, signature style and passion for hospitality are unmatched,” said Terrence O’Donnell, SVP/GM of the property. “We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate on this unique project that not only transforms our hotel but also changes the Las Vegas Strip.”
Additional details on the hotel’s renovation will be announced as the project evolves. The Cromwell will continue to operate during its transformation to The Vanderpump Hotel
