One of IHG’s newest brands, voco, sets its sights on Sydney’s Central Business District, with plans to open voco Sydney Central by 2020. The property will be part of a mixed-use, 17-story tower with a sloping roof and “green waterfalls” of rooftop plants.

More than 300 guestrooms are planned, each with superior bathrooms, user-friendly technology and innovative lighting. Also in the works, a guest gym and design-led restaurant and bar.

The property offers guests easy access to Capitol Theatre, rail transport and Sydney’s new convention center.

“We are thrilled to…bring the fifth voco to the iconic Sydney CBD landscape. voco celebrates the individuality of the hotel, stunning location and local people, with each stay tailored to deliver a unique and memorable experience to Sydneysiders, Australians and guests from all around the world. The signing continues the rapid growth of the voco brand since it launched in June 2018, complementing voco Gold Coast, voco Yarra Valley, voco Kirkton Park and voco Melbourne Central,” commented Abhijay Sandilya, senior director of development, Australasia, IHG.

The hotel addition continues the growth of IHG properties in Australasia. IHG currently has nearly 50 hotels operating under four brands in the region, with almost another 30 in the pipeline.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.

Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection Review

I am looking out at Vietnam’s largest city from the country’s tallest building. Sitting in a comfortable chair facing the floor-to-ceiling window, I have taken in the view in daylight and darkness at dusk and dawn. It’s ever-changing and always hypnotic.
