The Criterion Hotel Perth is situated in the heart of the business district; it is just minutes walk to key commercial buildings, government offices and entertainment centres or you can hop onto the free CDB bus at the hotel's doorstep. If you are on vacation, city sightseeing can be leisurely done with the network of public transport or simply on foot. A large variety of exciting restaurants are within walking distance from the Criterion Hotel.
The Criterion Hotel has the best of both worlds - the old and the new. The art-deco facade and some parts of its interior are being preserved as part of the Heritage Conservation effort to enhance the old style ambience of the area surrounding Hay Street. The rooms, lobby and its restaurants have been designed to incorporate the style of yester year yet achieving a modern day look through studied creative designing. In contrast with the heritage grandeur of the building, the rooms reflect a fresh new concept in hotel room standards in Perth.
