Do Hermès, Equinox, Nobu and more signal Nashville’s tier‑one moment?

Tennessean, December 2025

Mushroom Martini - The Patterson House

“At the Hermès Nashville opening celebration in October, live music by Jack White, Strategic Hospitality‑catered dishes and an open bar tended by craft cocktail creators elevated an already lavish dinner party — the kind you’d expect in Paris or New York.

The event, in a custom‑outfitted Berry Hill warehouse for 500 guests, was a high-caliber grand opening for a high-caliber brand. In attendance were members of the media and public relations worlds, celebrities, music producers and artists and many loyal customers toting Birkin bags.

The party was an inflection point for a city on the rise in the worlds of art, culture, dining, retail and business.”
