IHG continues voco’s growth momentum with new signing in Gosford

IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) is delighted to announce the signing of the seventh voco in Australasia, partnering with leading Sydney developer ALAND to open voco Gosford in regional New South Wales in early 2025.

The brand-new voco Gosford will form part of Archibald by ALAND, a landmark mixed-use development precinct overlooking the magnificent Brisbane Water.

Named after Archibald Acheson, the second Earl of Gosford, the highly anticipated development covers 5,656sqm and will include 320 residential apartments, a 130-room lifestyle hotel, a portfolio of impressive hospitality venues and a podium outdoor pool with swim-up bar.

The striking property will bring a cosmopolitan offering to the Central Coast's accommodation landscape. The design-focused hotel will feature guest rooms of up to 41sqm and executive suites of up to 54sqm.

Guests will enjoy picturesque views over the stunning Central Coast, an extensive hospitality offering with a street level pub and pizzeria, a rooftop sky bar and lounge on level 28, a signature restaurant under celebrity chef Dany Karam (former Executive Chef at the award-winning restaurant Black Bar and Grill in Pyrmont), a wellness centre and a total of 610sqm in conference and events facilities.

voco hotels combine individualised service and high-quality touches, from indulgent amenities to blissful beds. The voco name, originating from the Latin 'to invite', represents the brand's thoughtful, unstuffy and charming nature, where guests will always experience a warm welcome, simple check-in, an arrival gift, lively social spaces, and guest rooms with thoughtful comforts like cosy bedding, luxury bathroom amenities and fast Wi-Fi.

Marking IHG's continued expansion into regional Australia, the hotel will be the second voco in regional NSW and showcases the attractive versatility of the lifestyle brand. With a brilliant location in the heart of Gosford, just under one hour's drive from Sydney's CBD, guests can stroll to Gosford's stunning waterfront, enjoy sport or entertainment at Industree Group Stadium, and walk to the University of Newcastle's multimillion-dollar hi-tech campus.
