CHICAGO-In a move that will take New York City-based Denihan Hospitality Group’s brand Affinia national, the company has closed on its previously announced acquisition of the Fitzpatrick Chicago Hotel. Now known as the Affinia Chicago, the hotel will undergo a $10-million-plus renovation “to meet the standards that guests of DHG’s New York properties have come to expect.”

Renovation plans include larger-than-average rooms; repurposing existing office space to increase the number of guest rooms from 140 to 204; and doubling meeting space from the current 2,500 sf to 5,000 sf.

Bob DiLeonardo, principal of the hospitality in terior design firm, DiLeonardo International Inc., is heading hotel’s overhaul. DiLeonardo was also responsible for the 2005 renovations to the Affinia Gardens and Affinia Manhattan hotels, as well as earlier renovations to the Affinia 50, Affinia Dumont and the Benjamin hotels.
