The Criterion Hotel overlooks the Fitzroy River and the beautifully landscaped and prepared Riverbank walk. Parkers Function Room is the original ‘Grand Ballroom’ of the Criterion Hotel, which was built by the Parker and Curtis families in 1889. Parkers has lost none of the character of that bygone era and is truly representative of the traditional English/Victorian influence in the development of Rockhampton.

The Criterion Hotel is a comprehensive establishment offering a full bar, The Bush Inn Bar & Grill Steak House serving up mouth-watering dishes and comfortable accommodation. Breakfast and lunch are also available for guests 7 days a week.
