    If I were a visitor to Vancouver, rather than having the luxury to live here, I woulld definitely want to stay at the Sylvia hotel!

    In an old-style stone architecture building, covered with ivy, it's got the absolute best location! Right downtown, but off the main busy streets, it is literally steps to beautiful English Bay and the Stanley Park seawall - a rollerblade around which in the summer is unbeatable! Lots of great restaurants and nightlife, and shopping within walking distance, as well as the beauty of Stanley Park.

    The price is also reasonable (at least it was years ago.., haven't checked lately).

    A classic fixture in Vancouver's West End, this hotel is a historical landmark; its traditional European-style facade is almost completely obscured by ivy. Constructed in 1912, it was originally one of the tallest apartment buildings in the city. It was later converted to a hotel during the Depression and named after the builder's daughter.

    The dark wood-detailed interior evokes a European feel. The building's beachside location offers ocean views and access. Sitting across from English Bay, it is a short distance to Stanley Park and world-class shopping.

    There is a Restaurant, TV in rooms, Air Conditioning, Parking Available, Pets allowed
    Non-smoking rooms. The price is very reasonable considering it's located right at the big beach of English Bay. Price for 1 room (double) starts at $85 CAD/$60 USD.

  • I don't know. I paid around $60-70.00 off season for basic room. Warning this hotel gets very booked-up, and it is advised to book way ahead of time. thats because it is small. this is just my opinion, its best to contact them about rates and booking.

    It has been around for a long time. It has a nice view of English Bay. The food is nice and reasonably priced. The rooms, I have stayed in one in the off season and I think it was around $70/night. Just a nice atmosphere.

    Try the Sylvia Hotel in the West End. My mother was head chef at this hotel in the early 1940's and my father worked here as well.
    This is a brochure from the hotel at the time. Notice the room rates!!!

  • $65.00 single/$95 double/$105 triple
    bedroom and kitchen $95
    suites: $105-140

    No charge for dependent children under 18 staying with their parents

    Classic old hotel with outmoded furnishing, but really reasonable kitchenettes. GREAT PUB and PATIO with a view over the water. Perfect for a cool beer at sundown. Easy walk to STANLEY PARK. One street to cross and you're on the BEACH. Excellent West End location -- half a block to happening DENMAN STREET.

    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). The Sylvia hotel's staff are friendly, and can give you lots of ideas of what to do in the area. It's also a pet friendly hotel.

    You can choose from an apartment style hotel room, or just your basic accommodation.

    There is also a bar on site, which looks over English Bay, and a restaurant with good food!

    Rates are about $90 - $180/night in the summer.

    The best thing about the Sylvia is the location. The seawall is great for taking a morning stroll, or walk a little further to catch the Aqua Bus over to Granville Island.

    The Sylvia is a stately matron aunt in Vancouver's hotel scene - it's one of the most historic properties, located right on English Bay, with a great location close to Stanley Park and the restaurants, shops and bars of inner Vancouver. Beautiful, individualized rooms with views of the water, mountains, and city. The elevators are smallish, the corridors are unimpressive, the view from the street of the Sylvia is uninspiring - but this is a lovely place to stay while in Canada's western metropolis. And I recommend the bar and restaurant - they both have unparalleled views of English Bay.

    Sylvia Hotel: Worthy of a honeymoon stay

  • My wife and I stayed at The Sylvia the first few nights of our honeymoon. It's not fancy but very dignified-- clean, handsome with old world charm. Most rooms have a view of the beautiful bay, and the hotel is within walking distance of Stanley Park, Robson Street for shopping, and great restaurants and coffee/dessert places. I can't wait to stay at the Sylvia again!

    Definitely not a cookie cutter modern hotel. High ceilings, large bathrooms with large tubs, QUIET. A good place for quiet grown-ups who appreciate class, not flash. The views are fantastic-- sunsets over the bay from your room!
