Experience fine hospitality and Greek gastronomy at the foot of the Acropolis
A new way of living in downtown Athens
EAT SLEEP REPEAT
Situated at the foot of the Acropolis in the historical heart of Athens, Ergon House is a seventh heaven for food enthusiasts, complete with ‘rooms above the inn’. We’ve conceived a spectacular marketplace, a modern-day Agora with a constellation of greengrocers, a butcher’s, fishmonger’s and a roastery, a delicatessen a home and kitchenware section, along with a bar and restaurant which celebrate the best of Greek cuisine culture.
And we have expanded on the unique experience of an epicurean boutique hotel by creating cool common ground in which to cook and lounge, a gym for good conscience, as well as a roof terrace with handcrafted cocktails and unbeatable views of the city.
A LONG STORY SHORT THROUGH FOOD
Bringing people together over simple pleasures under the Ergon name since 2011, we’ve curated a community of artisans by selecting the finest products from our native soil, supporting small producers and time-honoured traditions. We’ve designed beautiful spaces across the world in which to share our passion for Greek cuisine and inspired an international following. As true believers in the positive power of food to transform moments and moods, we’re now doing away with the boundaries between a great meal and sweet dreams. It’s a bit like a night in the museum.
Forget about the typical hotel experience. Food is at the forefront of our hospitality, the guiding thread that runs through Ergon House, from your explorations of the Agora marketplace, the signature meals down at the restaurant, the cooking classes in the communal kitchens, down to the smallest treats from your in-room Ergon minibar or in room dining service.
Ergon House is our flagship that distils the essence of our philosophy around food, and life itself.
Cities were built around marketplaces and the table is the heart of the home. With Ergon House, we are creating a world we believe in, a place where the positive energies of Greek food and hospitality converge under one roof. Our farm-to-table seasonal produce is harvested within Greece. Our unwavering support of natural, artisanal food has deep personal roots. Our grandfather was a grocer in Thessaloniki. We were raised on Greek delicacies and warm hospitality and it is our great pleasure to share them with our guests. We started simply, with ‘nothing but the best’.
The first Ergon product was olive oil – some of the purest in the world, mechanically pressed at low temperatures by a small Cretan supplier whose groves date back to the venetian occupation 800 years ago. Building on this principle of quality, we count today some 1200 artisanal products from over 150 producers. Our product portfolio grows by 10% a year, patiently, as a result of extensive scouting for new suppliers and R&D of food technologies.
Ergon has become a global name in Mediterranean food and Greek cuisine culture on the strength of its hand-picked premium content, strong aesthetics and commitment to nurturing and promoting small and honest local producers. Having a portfolio of more than 600 unique products, 23 company-owned and franchise Mediterranean delis, restaurants, markets and hotels in Greece, UK, Belgium, Cyprus and Qatar under the same brand, ERGON is the only integrated Greek food brand in the world.
