The boutique hotel, which boasts 188 rooms, reflects Vanderpump’s British heritage through its design elements. Notable features include a vibrant red telephone booth and a classic English taxi, paying homage to her roots. The hotel’s aesthetic has been described as “industrial romantic,” a blend of feminine elegance and masculine edge, conceived through the collaboration of Vanderpump and Nick Alain’s design firm, Vanderpump Alain.
The opening ceremony was a grand affair, during which Vanderpump was awarded a Key to the Strip, recognising her growing influence on the Las Vegas scene. She has established herself as a prominent figure in the city’s hospitality realm, with an array of popular venues under her belt.
Among the highlights of The Vanderpump Hotel is the newly launched Gigolo lounge, a tribute to Vanderpump’s beloved late Pomeranian, Giggy. The lounge features a dramatic atmosphere, characterised by reimagined crystal chandeliers with custom shades, enhancing the ambience near the hotel’s casino.
Prior to its transformation into The Vanderpump Hotel, the building operated as The Cromwell. Vanderpump first announced her ambitions for the redevelopment in March 2025, revealing her excitement about the creative challenge of revitalising an existing structure rather than starting from scratch.
In her initial comments regarding the project, Vanderpump expressed her passion for hospitality and design. “It is just going to be another passion project, and that’s what I’m looking for in my life,” she remarked. She acknowledged the complexities involved in refurbishing the hotel, noting, “We’re not knocking anything down but we’re refurbishing all the rooms. It’s great that it’s a boutique hotel and it’s on The Strip.”
Vanderpump regularly draws inspiration from her travels, stating, “What I love is the freshness, the new challenge, the visuals. I look at everything, everywhere I go. It’s like my mind wanders into the design of it.” Her enthusiasm for innovation is evident in her collaboration with Alain, as they aim to create exceptional and memorable experiences for guests.
The Vanderpump Hotel is not Vanderpump’s first foray into the Las Vegas dining scene. She previously opened several successful venues, including Pinky’s, which debuted inside the Flamingo Las Vegas in December 2024. Additionally, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace opened its doors in March 2019, followed by Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas in April 2022.
With The Vanderpump Hotel now operational, Vanderpump continues to enhance her brand’s presence in Las Vegas, contributing to a flourishing hospitality landscape. As she expands her portfolio, her dedication to blending her British flair with contemporary design promises to keep guests engaged and entertained in this dynamic setting.
Visitors to The Vanderpump Hotel can expect a unique atmosphere that merges personal storytelling with sophisticated design, ensuring an experience that is both luxurious and reflective of Vanderpump’s distinct style. As she continues to evolve her brand, it’s clear that Lisa Vanderpump remains a formidable force in the hospitality industry, particularly on the vibrant Las Vegas Strip.
