THERE'S JUST SOMETHING easy-breezy about an all-inclusive vacation: Fewer decisions to make and numbers to crunch somehow makes that cocktail taste even better. This summer, for the first time, Four Seasons Hotel Houston is offering a suite deal that will level up your Downtown staycation.

Available through Labor Day weekend, the Inclusive Summer Package includes a guest room or suite, nightly valet, and daily breakfast at Toro Toro or via room service. It also includes the following, redeemable once per stay: lunch for two at Bayou & Bottle or The Pool Deck Café; dinner for two at Toro Toro; and drinks for two at Bandista or Bayou & Bottle. There's also a bonus 15 percent off spa treatments, and full access to the hotel's Summer of Fun activities.

The Inclusive Summer Package is only redeemable on Thursday through Sunday nights.

ON SATURDAY JULY 27, Foltz Gallery presents Endless Summer, a lively, playful exhibit of works by a multi-generational group of 28 emerging and established Texas-based artists. Taking its name from the 1974 Beach Boys double-album, which compiled the group’s early 1960s hit singles, the show is a visual “mixtape” of colorful paintings, prints, photographs, wall-based installations, ceramics and sculptures, installed lovingly throughout Foltz’s spacious and sunlit galleries. Among the works in Endless Summer are several examples of handmade “sculptural jewelry” by artist Rachel Gardner — a series of wearable wildflowers and fruits, including olives and strawberries.
