The Cromwell In Vegas Is Getting A Glam Makeover By Lisa Vanderpump; The Vanderpump Hotel Debuts In 2026

Las Vegas is about to get a little more glamorous thanks to Bravolebrity, Lisa Vanderpump.

Vanderpump, well known for her time on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and "Vanderpump Rules," already has multiple cocktail bars and restaurants in Las Vegas, but is about to add something even bigger - a hotel.

The reality star just announced plans to turn The Cromwell into The Vanderpump Hotel. The transformation will begin summer 2025 and the new hotel is expected to open in early 2026.

Caesars Entertainment and Vanderpump are joining forces to bring something new and original to the world-famous Las Vegas Strip.

The Cromwell, a standalone boutique hotel, located on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, will get a glam makeover to transform into The Vanderpump Hotel. It will be a first-of-its-kind destination that's expected to open to the public in early 2026.

"I am thrilled to once again be partnering with Caesars Entertainment, this time to venture into the hotel business. What an extraordinary opportunity to develop this iconic location into something unique, playful, and upscale," said Vanderpump, according to a press release obtained by The Blast.

"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 Vanderpump Hotel isn't Vanderpump's first business in Sin City. She also owns Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, and the recently opened Pinky's by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas.

"We've had a phenomenal partnership with Lisa, developing three very successful restaurants in Las Vegas. 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," Sean McBurney, Regional President of Caesars Entertainment said, according to the press release. "Nowhere else in the world can guests experience The Vanderpump Hotel, and we couldn't be more proud to debut it."

The hotel will offer 188 guest rooms and suites, an all-new lounge, enhanced hotel reception and front desk area, and of course, Vanderpump's signature vibe. The hotel will emphasize comfort and elegance and will offer hand-selected 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 and General Manager 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.”

This project is a bit different than previous ones for Vanderpump.

"It is just going to be another passion project and that's what I'm looking for in my life. It's a very different challenge because it's an existing building than what we've created before, [where] we literally built a casino floor into a restaurant," Vanderpump told PEOPLE.

"We're going to be working with the parameters of the hotel walls. It's not like we are 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. It's just a wonderful project for the Vanderpump brand."

Vanderpump will be working with Alain and said she's "excited about creating new spaces."

"I think it would probably be much easier for us as a brand to replicate, to come up with one and then just replicate them to continue doing them," she said. "But that is not what excites me and Nick Alain as a design company, but this is going to be different with our touch. It is all-encompassing."

Vanderpump and Alain worked together to design her newest Vegas restaurant, Pinky's, located inside Flamingo Las Vegas, which opened in December 2024.

Vanderpump shared her exciting Vegas news on Instagram with a video.

"I do have some very, exciting news. I've been holding it; it's been so difficult. I mean, I've seen my name in a lot of places, banners, on television shows, but this is something totally different. I think this is a restauranter's dream. It's iconic," she said in her video announcement.

"I want to create beauty everywhere I go. We dream together and we dream big. And I think, often our places are somewhat fantastical. It doesn't get any better than that. And so we are thrilled to announce, The Vanderpump Hotel coming 2026."

It didn't take long for fans to share their excitement after seeing Vanderpump's Instagram video announcement.

"One thing we all know Lisa can do, turn everything she touches into something aesthetically gorgeous. I cannot wait!! It’s gonna be beautiful!" one fan wrote. Another viewer added, "What a great business move!! People come to Vegas for the experience of fantasy, to get away from reality and your restaurants are similar so this is a great next level opportunity!"

And there's more where that came from! Many others also shared the same sentiments about the new hotel coming to town.

"Omg I can already picture it! It’s going to be the prettiest hotel!" one viewer shared. Another said, "The Queen always and forever! I just know that hotel will be fabulous."
