The Sylvia Hotel is a family favorite. We stay here every time we come to Vancouver. Super warm and friendly staff. Great live entertainment in the lounge on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays (I believe), Great history to the place. Can’t beat the location for walking distance to Stanley Park. And right across the street from English Bay. Love it!
