Marpessa smart luxury hotel

A listed building in Papastratou Str., one ofthe centralstreets of Agrinio, formed the core on which the Marpessa Hotel was developed. The elegant neoclassical building was built in the 1920s to house the family of a wealthy tobacco merchant, while the ground floor functioned as a warehouse. After a period of 40 years, through abandonment, recline, repeated damages due to strong earthquakes and a destructive fire in the interior, it changed ownership and consequently function and form. In the original three-storey core were added a fourth floorin recession and a new wing, forwhich specifically building regulations were issued by the Greek Ministry of Environment and Public Works.
