Caesars Entertainment's rebranding of the former Cromwell boutique hotel on the Las Vegas Strip is nearly complete: The public spaces of the Vanderpump Hotel are now open, with bookings for stays or events beginning in May.
This inaugural hotel from reality TV star and entrepreneur Lisa Vanderpump will showcase her signature "industrial romantic" style and add to the Vanderpump food-and-beverage venues that have already built a following in Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas and Flamingo Las Vegas.
"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," said Lisa Vanderpump. “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."
A unique option for groups
The Vanderpump Hotel will offer a more intimate setting and the potential for VIP programming among the Caesars properties in proximity to Caesars Forum. The 188 guest rooms are being redesigned by Vanderpump and her business partner Nick Alain in a soft palette that offers a playful elegance and tranquil retreat from the Strip just outside the hotel doors. Vanderpump herself will curate custom in-room amenities.
The property's existing venues, including Giada and Drai's After Hours, will remain open throughout the renovation. Upon the official opening, Drai's will be rebranded as Soleia — providing a rooftop pool and nightclub experience with sweeping views of the Strip.
A new Vanderpump-designed lounge will also be available for receptions, buyouts and executive gatherings.
"Lisa’s passion for creating unforgettable destinations is unmatched, and it's exciting to see her continuing to make her mark on Las Vegas with a boutique hotel that now bears her name,” said Sean McBurney, chief commercial officer and regional president of Caesars Entertainment. "Lisa has proven how distinctively she can transform a space with each restaurant she opens, and The Vanderpump Hotel builds on that vision in an entirely new way."
