New Orleans Is for Lovers

Mardi Gras is in full swing right now, the streets full of costumed revelers counting down the days to the start of Lent on Wednesday. By sometime Tuesday night (or possibly the wee hours of Wednesday morning), the last float will cruise down Bourbon Street, the last circle of beads will be thrown, and the last tired dancer will go home to bed. Slowly, over the next few days, New Orleans will lose its brief annual mask of depravity and resume its everyday face of genteel Southern charm.

Virginia may boast that it's for lovers, but I don't think there's any place more romantic than New Orleans. Graceful southern mansions and thick-trunked trees dripping with wispy tendrils of Spanish moss form the perfect background for romance. Sample savory Cajun delicacies on a moonlit riverboat cruise and slow dance with your sweetheart under a starry sky. Step back in time as you cuddle close on a carriage ride around the city's charming historic French Quarter. And, of course, there is the lure of Bourbon Street's soft smooth jazz and lush oyster bars. New Orleans is the perfect place to spend Valentine's Day with someone you love.

On the edge of the French Quarter and just two blocks away from New Orleans' scenic riverfront sits the charming Club La Pension timeshare resort. Its old world charm, intimate setting, friendly southern hospitality and luxurious accommodations invite romance. At Club La Pension, you're close to all of the exciting activities New Orleans has to offer. You can walk to delightful shops and restaurants in the French Quarter or catch a streetcar on the historic St. Charles Avenue line to explore sights further afield. La Pension's full-time concierge is an expert on New Orleans' exciting sights, sounds and flavors and can help you arrange restaurant reservations, city tours, show tickets, private transportation -- whatever you need to make your stay in the Crescent City perfect.


The award-winning resort is imbued with New Orleans' history. Six historic buildings have been completely remodeled with every luxury while being restored to their enchanting historic elegance. Antique-style French Provincial furniture adds just the right note of Old World elegance to the spacious richly appointed luxury suites. History surrounds you at La Pension. On the resort you'll find Canal Street's oldest existing building and an early post office. You can glimpse former slave quarters from the private dining room of La Pension's onsite five-star Italian restaurant, Cafe Giovanni, where Chef Duke prepares some of the most succulent delicacies in the city.
