"The Houston hotel is one of the Texas properties hosting the Viva Abejas dinner through Earth Day, featuring a menu built around pollinator-dependent ingredients and local honeys. The programming ties cocktails and dishes to orchard-driven ingredients like those used by Alma Finca, emphasizes sustainability and education about bees’ role in the food system, and donates a portion of proceeds to the World Bee Project; diners can expect variations in honey character and flavor depending on the local hives supplying each property." - Courtney E.

"With its various onsite restaurants and bars, there is plenty of reason to spend an evening at the Four Seasons. Couples looking for a unique date-night idea can take advantage of the luxury hotel’s food and drink classes. A private “suviche” making lesson lets guests join a Toro Toro chef in mastering the art of making sushi and ceviche, and includes hand-rolled sushi, ceviche, and sake to enjoy. Alternatively, there is a 90-minute, expert-led mixology class that includes two cocktails, bar snacks, and a takeaway gift. There’s also a TopGolf Swing Suites simulator, which includes other interactive games involving sports and zombie. It’s hidden just behind Bayou & Bottle, which is a perfect pre- or post-game whiskey tasting." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Located in the posh Four Seasons Houston, this breezy pool is an extension of the hotel’s understated opulence and is a charming place to bask in the sun. The dining menu is also something to indulge in. Find comfort food classics such as margherita pizzas, salads, and sandwiches. Further channel paradise with frozen cocktails like its frosé; the 10-cent Coconut, a combination of rums, pineapple, lime, and coconut; or the Pool-Loma, made with salted grapefruit, lime, and Fever Tree grapefruit soda with a Tajin rim." - Brittany Britto Garley
