Need a reason to travel together? A rare chance to slow the pace just enough to enjoy where you are, side by side? A New Orleans CPE conference might be just the thing you and your spouse need.
With Western CPE, your mornings are focused on classes and improving your skill set. By early afternoon, the day opens up. In New Orleans, that space matters. The city has a way of inviting you into it gently, offering moments that feel unplanned but meaningful. It becomes a place where work and time together coexist without competing.
The “Big Easy” is the Best Place to Share Time Together
New Orleans is a city built for lingering. They don’t call it the “Big Easy” for nothing. In the South, there’s no rush from one highlight to the next. It is about walking without a destination, settling into a conversation, and letting the day unfold naturally. The French Quarter is compact and textured, full of quiet corners, music drifting through open doors, and places that encourage you to stay a little longer than planned.
For couples, that atmosphere creates room for connection. The city feels intimate without trying to be romantic. You can slip into one of the French Quarter’s main art galleries for a while, take a seat at the Café Du Monde for coffee and beignets, or take a walk around Louis Armstrong Park to hear some local New Orleans Jazz.
Stay Somewhere That Feels Like a Retreat
The official conference hotel, Hotel Monteleone, sits on Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Over the course of the week, it becomes a calm, elegant retreat you return to together.
From the hotel, you can step into the city with ease and just as easily step back out of it. Long walks through historic streets, quiet afternoons, and evenings filled with music are all steps away from the hotel. Being centrally located means you never feel pulled away from the moment. In fact, the moment never really ends. The Hotel Monteleone is a living breathing part of the French Quarter.
Move to the Rhythm of the City Together
A spousal getaway works best when the setting does not demand attention. Hotel Monteleone offers that kind of balance. The Carousel Bar is an iconic place to pause before dinner or end the evening with a quiet drink. The on-site restaurant, Criollo, makes lingering over a meal easy with its seasonal menu. Comfortable rooms give you space to unwind after a day spent walking, talking, and exploring.
Relax in the French Quarter for Your Afternoons and Evenings—You’ve Got Nowhere Else to Be
After class, you might walk along the Mississippi River and watch riverboats pass by, or settle into a jazz performance at Preservation Hall, where the music fills a small room and time seems to slow down. A stroll through the French Quarter in the early evening offers a mix of quiet streets and soft energy, while a cocktail at the Carousel Bar becomes a familiar ritual rather than an event.
Everything is better with a bowl of gumbo or a plate of crawfish etouffee. Some afternoons might include a long lunch with Creole flavors at New Orlean’s staples like Brennan’s. Some evenings might be spent listening to live music without checking the time. This city leaves space for both.
Turn a Conference Trip Into Time Well Spent Together
New Orleans has a way of making time slow down. The city fits naturally around a conference schedule, offering moments to reconnect without forcing them.
A spousal getaway built around a New Orleans CPE conference allows you to take care of your continuing education while sharing an experience that feels thoughtful and unhurried. It is not about doing more. It is about choosing a place that makes being together feel easy.
