Vancouver's Blue Horizon & Sylvia Hotels

It's time to add my favourite hotels in Vancouver to the Great Canadian Links on this website's Touring Canada page. Look for the Sylvia Hotel and the Blue Horizon Hotel in the section of the Great Canadian links. My blog post on September 15th focused on the Blue Horizon Hotel. Today's focus is the Sylvia Hotel. It's a historic building with a great summer time patio & a restaurant that are great for people watching. The location and views are terrific here! The hotel is situated on English Bay at Second Beach, just a stone's throw from Stanley Park at Denman Street.

For visitors to downtown Vancouver, Ron & I recommend the Blue Horizon and the Sylvia Hotels without hesitation. The Sylvia is the place for you if you are looking for a great historic building in a location that's eclectic, scenic and central. The Blue Horizon is a modern hotel with great views and facilities in the heart of the Robson Street area.
