Magnificent Mile convenience and boutique style with top-notch dining
Its location near the Magnificent Mile is a given convenience for the shopper and tourist sets, but foodies also have reason to flock to the Affinia Chicago: C-House. The seafood- and steak-driven restaurant sets a standard for fine dining in a boutique hotel. Aesthetically, the hotel brings life to modern spaces with its fresh plants, skyline mural and chic guest rooms. By night, it's all about soaking in the views from the rooftop bar, which just happens to be open year-round.
Highlights
- Sip specialty cocktails at C-House's rooftop bar
- Fresh, seasonal fare at C-House
- Walking distance to Magnificent Mile shopping and sightseeing
- Boutique-chic guest rooms
Rooms
Carefully chosen accent pieces make the rooms at the Affinia Chicago pop, from burnt-orange bolster pillows to crystal globe table lamps. Plush mattresses topped with down comforters and triple sheets -- plus the added luxury of a pillow menu -- lend comfort to the carpeted space. Little things, such as Damana bath products and make-up mirrors displayed on the vanity, are welcome touches.Like the room size and layout, views at the Affinia Chicago can vary, while amenities such as a work desk, CD stereo with clock radio with MP3 capability and in-room coffee maker are standard. Visitors pay a surcharge to access Wi-Fi or hardwired connections.
Features
Cookbook author and TV chef Marcus Samuelsson isn't a fixture in the kitchen, but his influences linger. More Scandinavian than straight surf-and-turf, the menu puts unique spins on seafood and steak. Up on the 29th floor, guests take in delicious views of the skyline at C-View -- one Chicago Rose at a time. After ponying up to the communal table for burgers and conversations with fellow tourists, patrons may not want to leave.Transportation

Holiday Getaway
Fabulous New Year's weekend in the midst of Magnificent Mile holiday spectacular. You can't get any better on location, right around the corner from Disney and American Girl Stores. Within easy walking distance from many good restaurants, but we found that the C-House located in the Affinia was by far the best for breakfast-amazing almond french toast ! The rooms very modern and clean and had nice views of downtown. All in all a wonderful family experience.

Thanksgiving trip
My husband, dog and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Chicago. We chose The Affinia for the location, the pet friendly environment, and for the price. The staff was extremely accomodating to us and our dog Rouge. They provided doggy bowl, towels, and toy for the stay. The C-house for Thanksgiving dinner was delicious and conveniently located steps from our room. There was a park just down the block so it was easy to take my dog for a walk and quick potty break. Wish we could have had ice on our floor and a free internet connection in the business center! Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lakeshore park is a perfect spot to walk your dog . It is one of the few places your dog is allowed to potty on the grass in Chicago!!!

Great!
We had an excellent stay. Super location, very clean, nice gym, friendly staff, swanky rooms, spacious bathroom. The rooftop bar is out of this world, the view is wonderful and the cocktails are great. Unfortunately, slow internet connection for $9.99/day. Coffee and newspapers are only Mon - Fri.

Weekend in Chicago
Great location. Kind of a pain to have to ask for ice whenever you want some and then have to wait for it. Usually, it came pretty quickly. Staff was SO helpful, good suggestions. Bar on roof was really neat.
