Put his favorite canned meat, a water dish, and his litter box nearby. Then, leave him alone. Don't talk to him, try to pick him up, or "mess" with him at all...........IGNORE HIM !!! If he has a favorite bed, set it beside the chair that he's hiding under. He MAY get into it sometime when nobody is around.......
When he feels comfortable ENOUGH to come out, he will. Just be sure his "supplies" are CLOSE to where he's hiding, so he doesn't have to go far to eat, drink, and "potty". As long as you TRY to get him to come out, he's going to stay scared.
If he's in a room where you can close the door, so he'll feel safer, do it. Check from time to time, to see if he's eaten or gone to the "potty". Getting used to the new place, new sounds, new smells, etc..may take a few days. So, don't worry......just PROVIDE food, water & box, so that he'll be able to stay fed, hydrated, and not pee/poop on the floor......from fear!!
Hope this helps, and he becomes his "old self" soon.........Good luck.

Your poor kitty is afraid of it's new surroundings. Be patient with it and speak softly to not make it nervous. Keep some of it's food and water not too far away from the chair, and if possible, put some of it's familiar toys and it's own little bed around the room. The smell of it's own familiar things will help it come out of hiding. Some pets just need a bit more time than others. Don't force it out, it will come out when ready. Just let him/her know you love it.
