NSW Premier the Hon. Chris Minns MP was joined by local MP’s, members of the business community and key stakeholders for the official topping out and hard-hat tour of the Archibald by ALAND development in the heart of Gosford today.

Due to open later this year, the $375 million Archibald precinct is set to revitalise the Central Coast region and will include voco® Gosford (opening mid-2025), the first new build hotel to open in the region in more than 15 years, as well as 327 high-end apartments and six hospitality venues including the Central Coast’s highest rooftop bar.

Located in the beating heart of Gosford, and ideally positioned between Newcastle and Sydney, voco® Gosford will be the perfect destination for rest, work and play, with stunning beaches, national parks and the Gosford foreshore right on its doorstep.

Featuring 130 stylishly appointed guest rooms inspired by the relaxed coastal spirit of the Central Coast, the interiors of voco® Gosford will be heavily influenced by its location with a colour palette bursting with pops of aqua blue, earthy ochres, eucalyptus greens and sunshine yellow.

Offering more than just a room, the vibrantly playful hotel will become the place to meet for locals and travellers alike with six unique F&B venues offering all-day dining including a modern Australian-style gastro-pub, signature restaurant led by renowned Sydney chef Dany Karam, a swim up pool bar and the Central Coast’s only rooftop bar with sky high views over Brisbane Water.

And, with 700sqm of world-class conferencing and event facilities catering for up to 600 people and a rooftop Grand Ballroom with sweeping views over Brisbane Water, voco® Gosford will become the hub for meetings and events on the Central Coast.

Andrew Hrsto, ALAND Founder and Director says it’s an exciting time for the region with the launch of the upscale lifestyle hotel set to revitalise Gosford.

“This is the first time since 2007 that a major new-build hotel has opened on the Central Coast and as part of the $375 million Archibald by ALAND mix-use development, it’s going to change the face of the city.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with IHG to bring the seventh voco® hotel in Australasia, and the second regional NSW voco®property, to the Central Coast. This is our first development in the region as well as our first hotel project which marks a significant milestone not just for us, but for the region,” he said.
