Lock in a great price for The Sylvia Hotel – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

I've stayed at the Sylvia Hotel every time I've come to Vancouver. I'm drawn here by the atmosphere of the hotel which is charming, cozy, and elegant without being stuffy. Of course there's the views of English Bay, the convenient lounge and restaurant, the fluffy pillows and generous bathtubs. I've taken many photos of the Sylvia Hotel's neon sign and the creeping vine surrounding. The place is just magical!!!

Bonnie, United States of America

Great location, friendly staff, very close to Stanley Park, spacious rooms

Nandosf, United States of America

Property location is great. Can’t ask for anything more. Restaurant and bar were a pleasant surprise.

Paul, United States of America

The location of our corner suite overlooking English Bay. The history ! 3 room suite for $200 per nite. Stepping out into the action, walking into Stanley Park. Close to dozens of restaurants, the beach. Perfect Vancouver location in the West End. Easy parking and checking in. Very dog friendly!! Cute picture books about Mr Gotta Go, a special cat at the hotel. Bought all 3 for my granddaughter.

Carrol, United States of America

Love this hotel having been coming since I was a kid. Perfect location, amazing staff and great price. Thanks once again for an amazing visit

Karen, Canada

Beautiful location and neighborhood. The bar and music was lovely - really enjoyed spending time there. Room was comfy and we had a little view of the water.

Cathy, United States of America

Great locaton, staff, history, lounge, restaurant. Comfortable beds.

Brian, United States of America

Gorgeous, classic old hotel in the perfect setting. The creepers on the building were changing to autumn red and looked stunning! Staff were very friendly & welcomed our dog with treats!

Sarah, Canada

The staff were very kind and accommodating. The view from our room was spectacular! Very convenient location.

Jennifer, United States of America

Beautiful setting. Great restaurant for breakfast and live jazz in the cocktail bar. Loved feeling away from the towers of downtown. Friendly staff.

Plumbing renovations made our room unpleasantly smelly (drainage pipes) and dirty (cement debris from hallway). We requested a small discount but instead was offered to move to a different room for our second night, which would have been very inconvenient (since we had already unpacked everything). For the prices they charge, they should have given us a better room beforehand, instead of waiting for a complaint.
Great location, history, ambiance, large room

It’s quite old and it smells like it. But I sort of like it - hotels with history is very nice. Actually I like the whole stay, the only thing why I left disappointed is that I asked to prolong our stay one more night at the same price we stayed there for few nights - the girl at the counter says of course no problem, BUT when I check out there was another guy and he said the price is not the same and cant do anything about that.
