A generous cut above most of the West End's self-catering suite hotels,
the popular Sunset Inn offers larger-than-average rooms with full kitchenettes. Each has
a balcony, and some - particularly those on south-facing higher floors - have partial
views of English Bay. Rates include continental breakfast and, rare for Vancouver, free
parking. The attentive staff is among the best in the city.

Built in 1912, the
ivy-covered Sylvia enjoys a prime location overlooking English Bay. Generations of
guests keep coming back - many requesting the same room every year - for a dollop of
old-world charm, plus a side order of first-name service. The rooms have a wide array of
comfortable configurations, but best are the bedsit suites, which have kitchens and water-
front views.

Superbly located a short walk from Stanley Park, this excellent West End hid-
den gem (even the entrance can be hard to spot) is the perfect apartment-style Vancouver
option. Rooms are mostly one-bedroom suites and are spacious, with tubs, laundry facil-
ities, full kitchens and superbly well-maintained (if slightly 1980s) decor. Rates include
nearby gym access. There's a supermarket just across the street.
