No title - expert review
To stay at the Sylvia in June through August, you must book six months to a year ahead. This Virginia-creeper-covered 1912 building is popular because of its low rates and near-perfect location: about 25 feet from the beach on scenic English Bay, 200 feet from Stanley Park, and a 20-minute walk from...

If the Sylvia were being built today, all its rooms facing onto English Bay would have balconies and probably be outfitted with luxurious appointments. But balconies were rarities back in 1912, when this venerable and much-used hotel appeared in the relatively unpopulated West End, so all you can do...

Sylvia Hotel: Beautiful hotel at English Bay - user review

Sylvia Hotel: SYLVIA HOTEL - user review
We only stay at one of two hotels in the west end of Vancouver. The Sylvia Hotel is on Gilford street, directly across from English Bay. It is only minutes from Stanley Park, and within walking distance of the nightlife on Robson St. It's also only a block away from Denman (loads of restuarants). Th...

While I have never stayed at the Sylvia Hotel, this historic ivy covered brick building overlooking English Bay is possibly the best bargain in the city when it comes to accommodation. Simply put, no other hotel in Vancouver will put you in such a beautiful setting for such a low price. While it's t...
