Lisa Vanderpump is set to debut her first hotel, The Vanderpump Hotel, marking the transformation of The Cromwell into a reimagined boutique property on the Las Vegas Strip.
The project is expected to enhance both the central Strip corridor and Caesars Entertainment’s broader Las Vegas portfolio.
The hotel will feature Soleia—formerly Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub—which will function as both the resort pool and a dedicated event venue with panoramic views of the Strip. Group bookings are scheduled to open in May 2026.
“Taking the next step from restaurateur to hotelier and partnering once again with Caesars Entertainment on another extraordinary project has been such an exciting chapter for me,” Lisa Vanderpump said in a statement. “Our vision was to create a room that feels like a true retreat, a calming escape just steps from the energy and excitement of the casino floor. The guest rooms are as beautiful as they are serene.”
The Vanderpump Hotel offers a boutique meetings experience that combines high design, intimate scale and VIP programming just steps from CAESARS FORUM on the Las Vegas Strip.
The 188 guest rooms and suites, designed by Lisa Vanderpump and Nick Alain, feature a calming palette of moss green and dusty lilac, layered with soft textures, mixed metals and reflective finishes for a refined, airy feel. Vanderpump will also personally curate in-room amenities.
Beyond the guest rooms, Vanderpump’s signature style will extend to the reception, public spaces and a new lounge. Custom furnishings and lighting from her Vanderpump Alain design line will define the hotel’s “industrial romantic” look—blending rich textures with modern glamour and subtle touches of her personality, including her signature British wit.
“We are beyond excited to welcome The Vanderpump Hotel into our Las Vegas portfolio. Its unique design and elevated hospitality will deliver a completely new experience that is unmistakably Lisa Vanderpump—an exceptional entrepreneur and visionary restaurateur,” said Kelly Gleeson Smith, Senior Vice President of Sales at Caesars Entertainment. “With Soleia set atop this new boutique hotel, our clients gain even more opportunities to wow their attendees and create lasting impressions. This is exactly why our signature one contract, one contact approach is so effective—it empowers planners to be creative across our entire Las Vegas portfolio.”
