What guests are saying about Hotel Zena Washington Dc.
"We hosted our annual Women's Entrepreneurship Celebration at the Fig Leaf bar and everything was phenomenal. The entire events team went above and beyond to help make our event a success. The space is so gorgeous and inspiring. The food and drink was delicious. And so many of our event attendees had no idea such a great space existed in the heart of DC! More people should know about and make use this amazing hotel."

I had an issue 100% on my end with my credit card due to forgetting to set a travel notice. The staff was so incredibly kind about it and patient as I got the hold removed. Seriously such a quirky and fun place!"

View on Google"I loved this hotel ! It was clean, comfy & cozy. The staff were so kind & helpful. The overall vibes were cool & the location was very convenient!!! Can definitely walk places without having to drive. My only complaint was a 40$ utility fee.. they do notify you but threw email in small print. So if you don’t read throughly you’ll be surprised because they do not mention it at the front desk. Besides that i loved my stay & would definitely stay here again !"
