Sylvia by the Beach
Just at the end of Beach Avenue, overlooking English Bay, and an easy stroll from Denman Ave. with its restaurants, and night life, or from Stanley park with its aquarium, trails, and beaches, the Sylvia is an ideal pied-a-terre for budget-conscious visitors staying in Vancouver. The ivy-covered former apartment building has quirky room features, including in-room living-room areas or second bedrooms in some rooms, and a surprising number of in-room amenities for such a moderately priced hotel. This is our favorite place to stay in Vancouver.
