SYLVIA RETAINS CHARMS AFTER 100 YEARS

The Syliva Hotel in Vancouver has just passed its 100-year birthday, and the venerable grand dame continues to attract guests with its old world charms. While not especially luxurious, the Sylvia offers a friendly, comfortable blend of services, reasonable rates and a location facing English Bay that is second to none. The Sylvia Hotel is a designated heritage building, situated steps from Stanley Park to the west and vibrant Denman St. to the east. It is considered a city landmark and yet room rates are just about $100 per night in the winter low season. (http://www.sylviahotel.com)
