Welcome to Aenos
hotel
Originally built in 1780 as a
family mansion for the Count Metaxas family, a family connected
with many historical events in Greece. In 1845 a farmer’s
rebellion forced the family to Corfu then when rebels burnt their
summerhouse killing two of their employees they returned to Kefalonia
and first rented out the mansion as a hotel. During the Italian
occupation of WW2 the Hotel served as the officers club and then
returned to use as a hotel until destroyed by earthquake and the
subsequent fire in 1953.
In 1961 a small building with eight rooms and
some shops underneath was erected on the same site where the magnificent
mansion once stood. Professor Metaxas a direct descendant of the
old Metaxas family decided with his wife to tear down the small
building and build a new hotel Aenos with 40 comfortable rooms,
lounges and restaurant. The new Aenos Hotel opened in 1975 with
recent renovations to give you our guests the highest levels of
comfort and technology. Hotel Aenos is once again a landmark of
Argostoli situated in its original site on the south side of the
main square.
