Concierge "Charming and blowsy, the Sylvia is the Blanche DuBois of hotels."
Insight Guides "Attractive old hotel overlooking English Bay, adjacent to Stanley Park. Surprising grandeur for the price, hence very popular, especially during the summer."
Fodor's "This Virginia-creeper-covered 1912 heritage building is popular because of its affordable rates and its near-perfect location." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"An ivy-wrapped landmark located in a heritage building, this popular place has an excellent reputation, making reservations essential."
Time Out "Eight floors high, the Sylvia was once the tallest building in western Canada and is now listed and a city landmark, with Virginia vines growing up the light brick exterior." Full review
BlackBook "Apple-red sunsets and maple-lined seawalk shadows the old English-themed bar. Channeling “I Love Lucy,” the rooms are simple, clean and understated."
OysterMid-Range
"The mid-range Sylvia Hotel is a nice choice for those looking for a comfy and homey hotel away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Vancouver." Full review
Afar Magazine "Vancouver’s only beachfront hotel conjures thoughts of a more genteel era, thanks to its Virginia Creeper–clad brick and terra-cotta walls and heritage building status." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Ideally situated across the street from First Beach on English Bay...if you’re not expecting luxury, you’ll embrace The Sylvia as a tremendous value in one of the most enviable locations in Vancouver." Full review

Ask for a room overlooking English Bay, on the south facing (Beach Avenue) side of the hotel.
Frommer's "The big draw is, of course, the unbeatable location right on English Bay—that, and the great room rates. Each room has its own layout, which ranges from small bargain rooms to big suites" Full review

Frommer's "Tableau, the Loden's new restaurant that opened in 2011, is a friendly spot to dine." Full review
Concierge "Design-wise, the Loden is all about serenity and discretion."

Ask for a high room to get a sliver of a mountain or ocean view, or a garden room for a step-out patio; rooms on lower floors look onto buildings.
Fodor's "This gadget-centric boutique hotel has all manner of plug-and-play amenities, including in-room iPod docks and TVs with oversize LCD screens." Full review
OysterLuxury
"This 77-room luxury boutique has a modern, stylish feel, with a glam lobby... and a popular French bistro." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Sitting on the edge of the Coal Harbour neighborhood and Vancouver's financial district, the Loden Hotel is a distinctly modern-chic entity amid the area's mountains and waterways." Full review
Rough Guide "The plush chambers at this central hotel are turned out in shades of cinnamon and burnt orange and enhanced by spa-like bathrooms with downy robes."
Time Out "The talk of the town, the Loden's 77 deluxe rooms include six one-bedroom suites and a 1,600 square foot two-bedroom penthouse suite, with indoor and outdoor entertaining and dining areas." Full review
Gayot "This 77-room property is located nearby Vancouver's Coal Harbor and the heart of its financial district."
BlackBook "This bold newcomer spares no expense combining classic Italian materials for a sleek, sexy reinterpretation, with playful touches like herringbone-patterned marble floor."
Lonely Planet "The stylish Loden is the real designer deal, and one of the first boutique properties in years to give Yaletown's Opus a run for its money." Full review
