Conferences for up to 300 people, weddings for up to 450 indoors and up to 600 by the pool, and private dinners can be organised at The Margi, an 89-room hotel in Vouliagmeni on the Athens Riviera. Indoor halls, five conference suites, a pool deck, a beachfront villa and a farm in the countryside give organisers several settings handled by one events team.
Seminars and company events
The meetings offer starts with three halls. The J Hall, on the ground floor beside the patio, takes 70 to 300 people for a conference or a gala dinner. The M Hall, reached by a grand stairway and fronted by a foyer with a piano and lounge seating, hosts 35 to 200 and suits product launches and large parties. The J Lounge, furnished with oversized leather armchairs, antique tables and art, takes 90 to 120 people for a more relaxed meeting or a cocktail. For small groups, five conference suites of 55 to 110 square meters each hold up to 20 people, which works for board meetings, interviews or breakout sessions. The hotel also offers the winter restaurant GiO, the pool area and The Margi Villa for company dinners and receptions away from the meeting rooms.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and private celebrations are a large part of the hotel's activity. The J Hall, given as 341 square meters in its wedding layout, receives 50 to 450 guests. The M Hall takes 50 to 160 and the J Lounge up to 120. The pool area, about 500 square meters with its deck, bar, cabanas and restaurant, can host up to 600 guests, and a welcome drink can be served by the bar or the pool. GiO, an Italian-style restaurant with an olive-grove theme and a central bar, can be booked for weddings and birthdays. The Margi Villa, a 200-square-meter house on the beach a few minutes from the hotel, and The Margi Farm, a countryside setting among olive trees about 20 minutes away that takes up to 500 guests, widen the choice for couples.
Rooms and capacities
Capacities differ slightly between the hotel's meetings page and its celebrations page, notably for the J Hall and the M Hall, so the final figure should be checked against the layout chosen. As a guide: J Hall up to 300 for a meeting and 450 for a wedding, M Hall up to 200, J Lounge up to 120, conference suites up to 20 each, pool area up to 600 and Margi Farm up to 500.
Accommodation
After its renovation, the hotel has 89 rooms, which allows a group to stay on site during a conference or over a wedding weekend.
Catering
Food is prepared in-house under Executive Chef Panagiotis Giakalis, a Michelin-starred chef, and event menus can be designed with him. Breakfast is served as an American buffet or à la carte.
