The Harriman, a Viceroy Resort Scheduled for June 2026 Opening
Viceroy is proud to announce the debut of The Harriman, a Viceroy Resort, set to open in June 2026 at the southeast corner of Main Street and River Street East—the gateway to downtown Ketchum, Idaho. Just minutes from Bald Mountain's River Run base, the resort marks Sun Valley's first luxury hotel and for-sale residence offering, bringing Viceroy's signature experiential hospitality to one of North America's most iconic, year-round mountain destinations. The Harriman is named in tribute to W. Averill Harriman, Chairman of the Union Pacific Railroad, who was instrumental in the creation of Sun Valley Resort in 1936. His goal was to find the ideal location in the American West to develop a European-style winter sports destination that could be easily serviced by the Union Pacific's national rail network. Today, Harriman's legacy is woven into the resort's DNA, from its mountain spirit to its refined design and strong sense of place. The hotel will also serve as a gathering space for both guests and locals. A mountain-modern food and beverage program will include a full-service restaurant, zinc-clad bar, café and ski concierge, seasonal terrace and bar, and 3,275 square feet of meeting and event space. The kitchen will highlight local purveyors and Idaho-grown produce, beef, dairy, and fish. The Harriman builds on Viceroy's global growth in high-end outdoor destinations, following recent expansion in Portugal's Algarve region. More details on the opening and launch events will be shared in the coming months. Hotel website

Action star Dolph Lundgren is launching his own vodka
Dolph Lundgren is well-known for his many action movie roles, including Ivan Drago in 'Rocky IV' and He-Man in 'Masters of the Universe.' He's taking on a new role, and this one isn't on the big screen, though. It's as founder of a premium vodka brand aptly called Hard Cut Vodka. This 90-proof, premium vodka was made with a base of Idaho-grown potatoes and spring water from the Rocky Mountains. It's touted as an 'ultra-smooth' and 'the ultimate all-American vodka.' It's already been awarded a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Unsurprisingly, the name comes from the film term 'hard cut,' which describes a shot that abruptly ends and quickly cuts to the next shot without any dissolve, fade, or other transition. This new vodka was crafted to be smooth enough to be imbibed neat, on the rocks, or in a Martini, Vodka Soda, or any other popular vodka-based cocktail. According to the brand, Hard Cut Vodka is velvety and creamy smooth and has notes of green apple, fennel, roasted potato, and butterscotch. 'From earning my master's in chemical engineering, to taking on Rocky on the big screen, I've always believed in pushing the limits, striving for the best in all I do,' Dolph Lundgren, Founder and Chairman of Hard Cut Vodka said. He adds, 'My wife, Emma, and I enjoy vodka on the rocks, and after trying dozens of brands, we decided we needed to create the perfect liquid for a vodka world gone soft. Enter Hard Cut Vodka.' Hard Cut Vodka will be available nationally on for the suggested retail price of $25.99 for a 700ml bottle. It will be available at BevMo in California beginning this month and will be rolled out to other key markets in the US throughout 2025.
