voco Gosford opens on December 1

Gosford’s Archibald Precinct and voco Gosford are set to redefine coastal hospitality when they open on December 1.

Expected to be a major player in bringing the Gosford CBD back to life, the Archibald stands tall on the site of the former Union Hotel on the corner of Mann and Donnison Sts.

At the heart of it all is Astra, a rooftop bar and Japanese-inspired izakaya perched on Level 28, the highest in the region, led by Michelin-trained Maxime Chasseriaud and former BLACK at The Star chef Dany Karam.

Ahibachi grill will use premium binchōtan charcoal to sear meats and seafood before finishing them in a charcoal oven.

Expect a dining experience that fuses theatre, precision and bold simplicity, paired with cocktails designed for golden hours and glittering nights.

At the Ironbark steakhouse, woodfire and smoke take centre stage and Paolo’s serves authentic, hand-rolled pasta and trattoria-style Italian.

Archie’s is a local pub perfect for families and friends and the hotel also features a pool bar and lounge .

Designed with the playful spirit of the Central Coast in mind, the hotel’s 130 stylish guestrooms draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape as well as voco’s three brand hallmarks of Come on in, Me time and voco life.

Each guest room offers vibrantly playful interiors that include plush sustainable bedding, modern bathrooms and sweeping views across the city or bay, with most opening out to private balconies.

Bookings for the hotel and restaurants open from November 12.
