You’ve read the headline, now let us confirm the glorious news: the Central Coast’s newest four-star hotel – Encore by Mingara – is here and we’ve got your first look.

Encore by Mingara is the first hotel built from the ground up on the Central Coast in over 10 years with one goal in mind – to create a vibrant and welcoming retreat for guests visiting the community and the broader Central Coast surrounds.

And it certainly does that – with aplomb – bringing the best of the Central Coast together across four levels and 86 thoughtfully appointed rooms.

The hotel interior design has been informed by the natural surrounds of the Central Coast – from our bushland, and idyllic swimming spots to the golden sand of our beaches, whilst complementing and acknowledging the immediate architectural context of the hotel’s exterior and Mingara Recreation Club.

When it comes to rooms, you have plenty to choose from with all the rooms offering everything from plush beds to retire to in dreamy comfort to spacious modern bathrooms all just a short distance from the best of the coast.

Guests of the newest Central Coast hotel will be able to enjoy the best of the Central Coast lifestyle thanks to Encore by Mingara’s proximity to beautiful beaches, and local experiences.

The best part? Guests will be a few short steps away from the facilities of the Mingara Recreation Club including entertainment, a variety of delicious restaurants, cafes and bars.

Guests will also be able to access an event centre as well as a world-class fitness and aquatic centre.

Mingara Leisure Group CEO Paul Barnett said the new 4-star hotel will continue to support the growth of the Central Coast community.

“For many years, the Central Coast has needed additional quality hotel accommodation, and we are excited to be the first new hotel built from the ground up on the Central Coast in decades.”

“The opening of our new hotel makes a significant contribution to the Central Coast region and will support economic and tourism development here on the Coast”, Mr Barnett said. 

Encore by Mingara has certainly boosted the local economy with local construction company Red Eye Constructions taking the lead on the development with over 460 workers and trades contributing over 84,000 hours of work.
