A SPECIAL REPORT: VACATIONS

LOCAL GETAWAYS: If you can afford to splurge a little but don’t like the long travel most vacations involve, some local hotels are offering summer discounts. Newport Beach’s Four Seasons Hotel, for example, has an executive suite package at $300 per night, including flowers, champagne and breakfast for two. . . . “We get a lot of people who want to feel like they’re away from home,” says a spokeswoman.
