Lonely Planet review

Built in 1912 and named after the original owner's daughter, the ivy-covered Sylvia enjoys a prime location overlooking English Bay. Generations of guests keep coming back – many request the same room every year – for a dollop of Old World charm plus a side order of first-name service. There's a wide array of comfortable room configurations to suit every need here: the best are the 12 apartment suites, each with full kitchens and waterfront panoramas. If you don't have a room with a view, decamp to the lounge to nurse a beer and watch the sunset.
