Afternoon tea has a long-standing history, from high society Londonites gathering to pass gossip to suffragists gathering in the 19th century to discuss women’s right to vote, so carrying on this proud tradition is a natural fit for the Hermitage Hotel, which in 1920 hosted both Pro- Suffrage and Anti-Suffrage groups during a legislative battle over a woman’s right to vote, which ultimately gave women equal voting rights.

The iconic Hermitage Hotel is the longest standing Nashville hotel. Built in 1910, in a group effort by Nashville’s community, this luxury Nashville landmark has been the backdrop for years of traditions, memories and Nashville’s most memorable moments.
