Restaurateur, television star, and philanthropist Lisa Vanderpump is bringing her signature glamour and elevated dining experience to the heart of Scottsdale with the opening of Wolf by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Scottsdale, a Hilton hotel.
Developed in partnership with nationally recognized real estate and hospitality firm HCW, the new concept marks the second Wolf by Vanderpump location, according to a press release.
Representatives of the brand say the Scottsdale opening comes on the heels of the successful debut in April 2024 at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe — formerly Harveys.
Located on the 7th floor of Caesars Republic Scottsdale, the 6,500-square-foot restaurant will offer a dramatic and immersive atmosphere with opulent design elements, creative cocktails, and a globally inspired menu, according to a press release.
“We are thrilled to partner with Lisa Vanderpump to bring Wolf by Vanderpump to the rooftop of Caesars Republic Scottsdale,” said Rick Huffman, president & CEO of HCW. “Lisa has an incredible eye for design, hospitality, and creating unforgettable guest experiences. This addition, combined with the unparalleled views of Camelback Mountain, will transform the 7th floor into one of the most desirable and dynamic dining destinations in Scottsdale.”
The Wolf by Vanderpump concept ties in with Caesars Republic’s La Lupa wolf brand icon and its signature theme, “Unleash Your Alter Ego.”
The restaurant will bring bespoke, tailor-made creations from Ms. Vanderpump and Nick Alain, creating a dramatic central bar will serve as the visual and social heart of the space, surrounded by glamorous interiors and bold textures.
As with Ms. Vanderpump’s other venues, the cocktail program will be extensive and imaginative — featuring locally inspired ingredients, elaborate garnishes, and visual storytelling that transforms every drink into a conversation piece.
“We are thrilled to be expanding the Wolf By Vanderpump brand and opening its second location in Scottsdale. WOLF is unique, bold, filled with epic visual statements, and it will be the perfect addition to the stunning Caesars Republic Arizona hotel,” Ms. Vanderpump said.
“Alain is creating gorgeous bespoke pieces to bring this concept to life, with every element taken from the magnificent creature that is the wolf. This location will feel different to the Tahoe location, drawing inspiration from the desert and surrounding areas, which will be infused into the design, the food and the cocktails. We are excited to add this newest venture to our portfolio, and can’t wait to spend a lot of time in the beautiful city of Scottsdale.”
