A star studded line-up of over 250 guests turned up the heat last Friday night in celebration of the grand launch party for voco Gosford & The Archibald Precinct.

The stars came out to play, with the likes of Anna Robards, Eleanor Pendleton, Michael Klim and Costeen Hatzi hitting the dance floor while the electric beats of dance-pop duo Sneaky Sound System lit up a one-of-a-kind rooftop performance in Astra, the Central Coast's tallest rooftop bar.

It was a night packed with glamour, beats and unforgettable moments that included mesmerising performances by the Aqua Bubbles Girls who glided across the podium level pool in water globes, DJ Michelle Owen spinning tunes in the rooftop bar before culminating in a rooftop party to end all parties thanks to the electro-beats of Sneaky Sound System.
