Part of the Gay Vancouver Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Vancouver, British Columbia
The Sylvia is the West End's beloved ivy-covered grande dame — a 1912 heritage building right on English Bay, a short stroll from Davie Village and the parade finish. Rooms are simple and unfussy but the location is unbeatable: beach out front, sunset cocktails in the historic lounge, and the whole gay village a 10-minute walk away. Gay friendly and pet-friendly.
