THE HISTORY OF THE SYLVIA HOTEL When it opened on May 3 of 1913 as a 70 unit apartment block, Sylvia Court was the tallest building in Vancouver and attracted affluent tenants. Apartments were smartly equipped including a dumb waiter service installed in every suite. Boston ivy is the ivy-like plant that covers more than half of the property in a lush coat of seasonal colours. The plant is a trademark feature of the hotel and a well known landmark in the city. The vines are the legacy of one of Sylvia Court’s first tenants, Mrs. Kenvyn who started the plant after World War II.
