I’m always a little hesitant with “historic” hotels. But the Sylvia was fantastic! Beautiful, classic hotel in a fantastic location. The restaurant was so good, and our waitress was the best! We only stayed one night, but I will definitely be back next time we are in Vancouver. Highly recommend!

English bay cannot be beat for beauty and location. The hotel is old but beautiful, biggest issue is NO Air conditioning and the downtown area can be noisy all night long.

It’s a beautiful older hotel with the comfiest beds! The location is PERFECT. I extended my stay I loved it so much. The bathrooms are tiny which might bother some but I didn’t care. The shower was amazing.
