voco Gosford is set to offer a variety of pop-up activations and activities for business events, including smoothie bars, barista coffee, sweet stations, alongside Vino & Vinyasa and Pinot & Pizza Making.
The hotel will be located in the Archibald building being developed by ALAND, which also includes 327 residential apartments.
“We’re thrilled to be making our foray into Gosford in our first partnership with ALAND and extending our reach across regional NSW with the voco brand,” said IHG Hotels & Resorts’ director of development for Australasia and the Pacific, Cameron Burke, when voco Gosford was first announced in late 2023.
“This is an incredibly exciting development, and we are delighted to be part of a project that will transform the city of Gosford into a new lifestyle destination.
“I have no doubt the addition of voco to the city will help drive tourism across the region, and the adjacent hospitality amenity is sure to be a popular driver of patronage.
“We’re excited about the growth opportunities we see in regional Australia.”
The hotel is located close to Gosford Station, with trains from Sydney taking around one hour and 20 minutes. Drive time from the Sydney CBD is under 70 minutes.
