HG Hotels and Resorts and property developer Aland have introduced a 130-room, new-build Voco on the heart of the Central Coast, an hour north of Sydney.

Located in the heart of The Archibald, a mixed-use precinct, the hotel is expected to bring a buzz to the region, playing on its fresh design and vibrant Voco brand qualities.

“The Archibald Precinct has been designed to transform the heart of Gosford, and the opening of Voco Gosford is a major milestone in realising that vision,” Founder and Director of Aland, Andrew Hrsto said.

The property will feature a rooftop pool with swim-up bar, six distinctive dining and bar venues, and expansive meeting and event facilities including the Altitude Grand Ballroom and Level 28’s Astra Rooftop Bar.

“This hotel represents a bold new chapter for Gosford. We see tremendous potential in regional destinations like this and look forward to welcoming guests from across Australia and beyond,” IHG Hotels and Resorts Managing Director, Australasia and Pacific, Matt Tripolone said.

The latest Voco joins a growing Australian brand portfolio, which includes Voco Gold Coast, Voco Kirkton Park Hunter Valley, Voco Brisbane City Centre and Voco Melbourne Central. Globally, Voco has surpassed 100 open hotels.
