Greek boutique hotel brand Ergon House heads to Covent Garden

The company has acquired a newly-refurbished heritage-listed building on King Street close to Covent Garden’s Market Building and Piazza and hopes to launch next year. 

The 20,000sq ft site will incorporate a 2,220 sq ft rooftop restaurant with an al fresco terrace, which, as one of only a few in the area, will boast ‘striking’ views of the London skyline.

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. 

Landlord Shaftesbury Capital says the deal ‘demonstrates Covent Garden’s gravitas in attracting groun-breaking and new flagship concepts and high quality global brands’ further cementing ‘its position as a world-class mixed-use destination’. 

“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,” says Ergon founder and CEO Thomas Douzis. 

“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.”
