Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE gazetted with permanent entry as State Registered Place amended (21/10/2019) - Criterion Hotel, a three storey brick building, with basement, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: + As the only remaining central city hotel designed in the Art Deco style the Criterion Hotel has a high degree of cultural significance. + The aesthetic significance lies in the cohesive, consistent and comprehensive range of original Art Deco details throughout its exterior and interior design. + Few other buildings in central Perth possess such an extensive range and quality of Art Deco details. + The building makes a strong contribution to the streetscape of Hay Street, while its style is a reflection of post-Depression development in the city. + The historic significance of the place lies in its continuous use as a licensed public house since 1848.
