Greek boutique hotel brand Ergon House is set to open in Covent Garden in a newly refurbished heritage listed building anchoring King Street next year.
This will be the brand’s first hotel outside of Greece, marking a milestone in Ergon’s expansion.
The boutique hotel, which features artisanal Mediterranean products and cuisine, will open a 20,000sq ft location at 26 King Street, featuring a blend of living, restaurant spaces and culinary experiences in a Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere.
The venue will host over 20 contemporary hotel rooms, with access to a private gym, with spaces designed by local artists, paying homage to its Greek roots. It will also incorporate a 2,220 sq ft rooftop restaurant with an al fresco terrace.
With food at the forefront, Ergon House will deliver a multitude of culinary experiences open to the public, including an Agora marketplace where bakers, butchers, fishmongers, and greengrocers will bring farm-to-table produce to visitors.
Thomas Douzis, founder and CEO of Ergon, also said: “Ergon House Covent Garden marks a significant milestone for us. It represents our dedication and commitment to providing a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience for guests, and marks a new era in our journey.
“We chose Covent Garden for our first location in the UK because of its strong reputation in retail and F&B. It offers a unique opportunity for us with local and international visitors, and the solid cultural foundation it has cultivated. We look forward to embedding ourselves within the West End.”
Michelle McGrath, executive director, Shaftesbury Capital, said: “Making places like Covent Garden thrive requires the right blend of high quality destination concepts and uses which foster an environment for trade and consumer experiences to flourish. Covent Garden is now the go-to destination for British and international brands, culture, entertainment, and art, with the opening of Ergon House cementing this further.
“This unique boutique hotel will enhance the Covent Garden experience, delivering a distinctive blend of high-end hospitality experience which aligns with our goal to continually evolve and enhance the neighbourhood. The addition of a new rooftop restaurant and terrace for the district will deliver a rare and high quality experience for locals and visitors, setting us apart from other destinations.”
