Ergon House Athens – A Favorite for Families in Athens
About the Hotel
Rooms & Amenities
Ergon House Athens offers four room types: Small, Medium, Large, and Family. Each room includes custom mood lighting, open layouts with retro breeze block screens, and large double-glazed windows with views of the atrium or city. Beds are raised four-posters inspired by traditional Pelion 'ontades.' Bathrooms feature hand-carved marble basins, brass fixtures, and natural toiletries. Rooms come with Marshall Bluetooth speakers, minibars stocked with Ergon products, and espresso machines. The Large and Family rooms include additional child beds and access to communal kitchens.
Dining & Markets
The hotel houses a modern-day Agora marketplace with a butcher, fishmonger, bakery, and greengrocer. Ingredients can be cooked in communal kitchens or prepared by chefs on-site. The rooftop Retiré Bar serves cocktails by Clumsies mixologists, with views of the Acropolis. Coffee is sourced from Taf Roasters, brewed using pour-over, Chemex, and V60 methods. The vertical orchard grows herbs and vegetables like basil, rosemary, and cherry tomatoes. Breakfast includes sourdough bread, Greek yogurt, and seasonal fruit.
Activities & Events
Cooking classes are held Fridays, teaching dishes like Manti pasta and Peinirli bread. Wine tastings feature Greek vintages, while coffee workshops explore brewing techniques. The glass-partitioned mezzanine hosts private events with set menus. The gym on the third floor has treadmills, TRX straps, and balance balls. Guests can join urban farmers harvesting the vertical orchard or admire INO's mural in the atrium.
