The moment Vanderpump fans have been anxiously waiting for is finally here! The Cromwell has been “Vanderpumped” and transformed into The Vanderpump Hotel. On Friday, the trendy bar contained in the hotel opened to the general public and it was value every second fans had to attend for it.

Named in honor of Vanderpump’s beloved pup, Gigolo, who many may remember from her time on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” this will not be your typical hotel bar by any means. The 62-inch-tall sculpture of Giggy stands proud on one side of the bar and lounge, with Vanderpump accents and magnificence throughout.

In line with a press release sent to The Blast, “Giggy holds a special place in Lisa Vanderpump’s heart, and at the middle of Gigolo stands a playful sculptural tribute to him.”

Giggy, who was a relentless sight by her side on and off camera for a few years, inspired the creation of The Vanderpump Dog Foundation. “The Vanderpump Dog Foundation has been instrumental in writing and passing animal cruelty laws, has saved greater than 3,000 dogs in California alone and has aided hundreds more worldwide,” the press release continues.

The bar, together with the hotel, was designed by Vanderpump Alain, Vanderpump’s and her business partner Nick Alain’s design company. Every detail has been little question “Vanderpumped” and brings a sense of glamour and class.

Gigolo seats 50 guests in multiple varieties of seating — the bar, tables and chairs, couches — and has decor that matches the vibe completely. With Vanderpump Alain’s signature bespoke aesthetic, crystal lighting, deep red oversized chandelier shades, and far more, it’s the right spot to enjoy a delicious signature cocktail and fabulous-feeling rest.

“To commemorate my beloved Gigolo, our lovedog who inspired The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, making a bar in his honor has all the time been a dream of mine,” said Lisa Vanderpump,” based on the press release.

“He has meant a lot to us and to so many others, and to see an enormous statue of him in Las Vegas is a meaningful moment for me. The opposite meaning of Gigolo can be something we had a number of fun with – making a dark, sultry space with a wink and many sexy undertones. I believe it would be a welcome respite to guests and visitors, nestled into the bosom of The Vanderpump Hotel.”
