Using the word “Hotel” is problematic as it’s generally too associated with “for-profit” unfortunately. The other ideas you mention seem too generic; “Enabling EA Learning & Research” is a very concise summary of what we actually do. We didn’t come up with anything better that was a pronounceable acronym.
The main reason for the change is to make it immediately obvious that we are a non-profit. The building is still called the Athena Hotel.
Thanks, that makes sense. What do you think about the other points I mentioned?

Possibility of verbal confusion as this is how most people vocalise ‘CSER’ (where EA folk also tend to go in the UK).
(We had a ‘Julius’ for a while, which was excellent).
