Four Seasons Hotel Nashville Welcomes New Beverage Director

Four Seasons Hotel Nashville, the luxury five-star property in the heart of downtown Nashville’s SoBro neighbourhood, announces the addition of Beverage Manager Alexandre Renoue, a seasoned industry veteran who will oversee beverage offerings at Mimo Restaurant and Bar and Rivière Rooftop, as well as banquets and special events.

A native of Corsica, France, Renoue joins the dynamic food and beverage team at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville from Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai. Passionate about mixology, Renoue’s vast hospitality experience – which includes stints in London, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Dubai – influences his creative cocktail methodology, with global flair and flavours incorporated into his signature drinks.

“We are lucky to have someone as skilled and creative as Alexandre join our incredible team at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville,” says Sunil Narang, the Hotel’s General Manager. “His unique approach to mixology and the fun, inventive spin he brings to beverage service is a welcome addition to the stellar, five-star service that Mimo, Riviere, and the Hotel is known for. He’s arrived in Music City with fresh ideas and a passion for cocktails that is both approachable and unexpected. We’re eager for guests to experience his fresh take on the medium.”

One of Renoue’s key initiatives is to launch a Mixology Lab at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville. The fifth-floor lab will serve as a place for the Hotel’s bartenders and servers to receive training and experiment with new creations, as well as an interactive space for guests to participate in cocktail classes. The lab program will allow the Hotel’s mixologists a creative space to broaden their knowledge, develop new cocktails, make their own infusions and ingredients, and continually evolve their offerings for guests.

“Mixology is constantly changing and evolving, with new techniques and ingredients being developed all the time,” says Renoue. “One of my favourite parts of the job is collaborating and creating alongside the team. I’m excited to work with the skilled team of bartenders and mixologists here to invent truly original offerings for our guests that will enhance their experience and introduce them to something new.”

In addition to building the Mixology Lab, Renoue is unveiling new cocktail menus for the Hotel’s flagship restaurant, Mimo Restaurant and Bar; rooftop restaurant, Rivière; and banquets and special events. The new beverage offerings at Rivière feature refreshing, summery cocktails inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean. Playfully named, Riviere’s cocktails include a selection of spritzes, tiki drinks, and margaritas, in addition to flavourful, low-sugar non-alcoholic mocktails, all made with hand-picked botanicals and herbs. The menu also includes an excellent selection of canned and draft beer and rosé and white wines.

At Mimo Restaurant and Bar, Renoue is unveiling a new menu of modern classics, with each signature cocktail designed to highlight a single ingredient or botanical. A tableside bar cart will offer “A Vision on Classic Cocktails,” with guests choosing from expertly prepared classic cocktails made with elevated ingredients and presentation. Mimo’s wine list is also being expanded to showcase a greater selection of Italian wines, hand-selected by the restaurant sommelier. Each month, Mimo will also serve special, limited-time cocktails created by the restaurant’s bartenders inspired by the month or season.

For banquets and special events, guests will have the opportunity to choose from a selection of signature cocktails or have one created specific for their gathering. The Hotel will also begin offering a Mixology Station for special events with personalized mixers available to guests as favours or souvenirs.
