The Sylvia Hotel is situated on English Bay with the restaurant providing stunning views! Though it's an old, historic building, nearly every modern convenience has been added for comfort, practicality, and safety. There's no air conditioning but the windows in the room do open and a ceiling fan moves the air quite well on warmer days/nights. Our room was right beside the elevator, but we never heard it and other guests were also quiet. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. The restaurant is excellent! Menu, quality, flavour, and service were all excellent, and the prices are reasonable. We look forward to the next time we get to stay here!
