Our take
I would choose the Sylvia for its setting above everything else: it stands right on English Bay with ocean views, direct seawall access and Stanley Park a short walk away. Suites with full kitchens suit families and longer stays, the restaurant and lounge are on site, and pets are accepted. An 8.9 out of 10 from 982 reviews confirms that the location is matched by the stay.
- ✓Take advantage of the direct seawall access for morning walks or bike rides along English Bay.
- ✓Book a suite with a full kitchen if you plan a longer stay or prefer to prepare some of your own meals.
- ✓Explore Stanley Park, which is just a two-minute walk from the hotel's front door.

Why guests love itThe Sylvia sits directly on English Bay, so families step out of the door onto the seawall, ready for a walk, a bike ride or an afternoon on the beach. Stanley Park is a short walk away, with plenty of space for children to explore. Suites with full kitchens make longer stays easier, and the on-site restaurant and lounge look out over the water. Pets are accepted, so the family dog can enjoy the seawall too.
