House Athens
Urban foodie boutique. Muted greys, brushed brass, walnut wood, and Chios 'xysta' patterned tile bathrooms. Shares aesthetic DNA with traditional Japanese hotels — compact, purposeful, deeply considered — though the inspiration is actually the building traditions of the Pelion peninsula.
Hotel guests can reserve a spot at Retiré rooftop bar; non-guests are walk-in only and space is limited
Why It Matters
Earned 1 Michelin Key in 2025. Recognized as the first food-concept boutique hotel of its kind in Europe. The ground-floor Agora features a 200-year-old olive tree and a vertical hydroponic/aquaponic orchard. All rooms include a free à la carte breakfast served from the market's own restaurant — not a buffet, an actual menu.
ERGON House is first and foremost a food market — a soaring 25-metre glass atrium housing a butcher, fishmonger, bakery, greengrocer, deli, and roastery — and it just so happens there are 38 boutique rooms stacked above it. The whole thing sits a short walk from the Acropolis, in the Plaka/Monastiraki triangle at the dead center of Athens. Awarded 1 Michelin Key in 2025, the hotel is a fully realized concept, not an afterthought: rooms are seriously designed collaborations with local artists and architects, every stay includes a complimentary à la carte breakfast, and the Retiré rooftop bar delivers direct sightlines to the Parthenon.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Extra Large Room
The top solo room at 27–30 sqm. Open-plan layout with a breezeblock screen that gives a retro Sixties island feel — and the best reason to book it is the direct side Acropolis view. Athens lights up at dusk and you get the whole show from a sound-proofed window. Four-poster raised bed in super-king or king, Marshall speakers, same brass-and-grey palette throughout.
Super-King or King (four-poster); extra twin available · 28.5 sqm
Family Room
A Large and Small room that interconnect to form a family suite sleeping up to six (max four adults, one child, one infant). Each section has its own en-suite bathroom with the Chios-tile treatment and rainfall shower. Good option for multigenerational groups who want the market experience without sacrificing space.
Large Room
26–28 sqm with a raised four-poster king-size bed, a proper desk, and room for an extra twin bed, crib, or cot. Retro furniture, polished brass accents, and a muted grey palette. City or atrium views. Large rooms get the Marshall Bluetooth speaker upgrade.
King (four-poster); extra twin/crib available · 27 sqm
Medium Room
At 20–24 sqm, the Medium steps up to views over Athens city or the light-filled atrium. Same Chios-tile bathroom and mood lighting as the Small, plus the option of a super-king or king bed. Twin configuration is available on request.
King or Super-King (four-poster); twins available on request · 22 sqmSmall Room
The most compact option at 17–20 sqm — cozy, not cramped. Custom mood lighting, parquet floors, and a raised four-poster double bed. Large sound-proofed windows look out over the atrium.

How you'll actually spend your days.
The entire ground-floor Agora is open to hotel guests and the public. Shop the greengrocer (including produce from the in-house hydroponic/aquaponic vertical orchard), the butcher, fishmonger (fish sliced or baked to order), deli with 1,200+ artisanal Greek products, roastery with TAF coffee, and the bakery with its wood-fired stone oven. The vintage 1950s Italian Motom motocarro inside the entrance is dressed according to seasonal themes.
Chef-led classes that begin with a guided tour of the Agora market, where you hand-pick ingredients from the butcher, fishmonger, greengrocer, and deli. The group then moves upstairs to the communal kitchens on the 2nd or 4th floor. Chefs walk through every step of prep and food styling. Typical menus include filled pastries (kadaifi, peinirli) and dolmadakia (stuffed vine leaves). Ends with sitting down to eat what you made.
Every floor has a fully equipped communal kitchen and dining room. Guests can buy ingredients from the Agora downstairs and prepare their own meals. Communal dining tables encourage sharing with fellow guests.
The glass-partitioned mezzanine overlooking the Agora hosts private events with coffee breaks and set menus. The 12-seater communal kitchens on the 2nd and 4th floors are available for business lunches, presentations, seminars, team cooking classes, and wine tastings. Enquire via events@ergonfoods.com.
