Hotel's staff and location were good, had a very relaxing stay for a business trip. I liked the room with 2 beds, the bed was nice. On-site restaurant Figleaf was a bonus, had dinner there.

We had a really enjoyable stay in a long time. The hotel was an excellant base for enjoying a pretty nice area, short walk to the White House and the restaurant and 14th street 52 & 54 bus lines. We liked the room, it was terrific and new-fashioned. Central location was a plus.

    The standout amenity is the supremely popular rooftop pool, open from 5pm to 11pm Sunday through Thursday and 5pm-1am Friday and Saturday. It was like a hidden oasis amidst the bustling city, and I had a blast relaxing by the pool with vibrant cocktails and enjoying the stunning views of the DC skyline.

    The breakfast menu got a bit dull after a few days.

    During my recent stay at Hotel Zena, I was impressed by the stylish and unique design of the hotel. The decor had a vibrant and artistic feel, which created a truly immersive experience. The rooftop bar was a highlight, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline. The staff at the front desk provided top-notch service, going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. I particularly appreciated their helpfulness in arranging transportation for me. The room itself was comfortable and well-appointed, with modern amenities that made my stay truly enjoyable. I had a wonderful experience at Hotel Zena and would highly recommend it to others.

    We had a great stay here! The staff were wonderful, from the doorman to the housekeeping staff. They all went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel is in a great area and is close to everything we wanted to do. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby and it's not far from the museum.

    Clean and comfortable room with modern and hip decor. Friendly and professional staff. Key location with easy access to nearby restaurants, cafes, and metro. Convenient 24-hour CVS across the street. Enjoyed the wine happy hour and minibar offerings

    Misleading information on amenities such as pool and bar being closed. Lack of bathtub in the room, which was expected.

    The hotel is located close to everything, with easy walking distance to the White House, National Mall, Ford's Theatre, and the Spy Museum. The rooms are spacious and well-decorated with funky bathrooms. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel offers complementary flavored water in the lobby, yoga mats in the rooms, and glasses instead of paper cups.

    The elevators could use some upkeep, as they were hot and had dirty carpets inside.

    As young holiday goers, we loved the great city view from our room overlooking the Thomas Circle Roundabout. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the multiple layers of security made us feel safe. The location was convenient, with restaurants nearby and a convenience store across the street. Plus, we got upgraded to a suite and the room was clean, comfortable, and bright.

    Felt like visiting family, nothing to complain about.

    We had an incredible time at the Kameron Michaels drag show during the June Pride in the Sky event at Hotel Zena. The vibrant atmosphere and electrifying performances made our family's evening unforgettable. The spacious room and friendly staff added to the exceptional experience.

    My kids wished for a dedicated play area to keep them entertained.

    It's a pity that the pool closes at 4pm on Sundays, while on other days it's open until 10pm .

    The location. Very comfortable room. Excellent bed and excellent terrace and swimming pool

    As the terrace is used for parties, they close the pool very early. At 4 pm. The gentleman who informs that the pool is closed has very bad manners. A plow.

The hotel personnel went above and beyond, providing us with information on the best places to eat and shop. the cost-to-benefit ratio was excellent, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    I recently stayed at Hotel Zena for a week-long family vacation. The location was perfect, with easy access to the metro and nearby attractions. The staff, especially a kind and helpful woman with short curly hair, went above and beyond to ensure a great stay. They even changed our room to better accommodate our needs. The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious, while the bathroom was spotless and well-designed. The rooftop bar was a standout feature, offering amazing views of Thomas Circle.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    We had an amazing stay at this place! The staff provided excellent customer service, from the front desk to the bellman to the housekeepers. They were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The location was convenient, not far from the museum and close to everything we wanted to do in D. The room was spacious and had all the amenities we needed, including ironing facilities, air conditioning, and a comfortable bed. The on-site dining options were great, with a restaurant and bar/lounge area to choose from. we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel to family and friends.

    Well located and comfortable hotel for 4 people. It is very well located, in a central and quiet area.

    The main thing we didn't like is that we chose the hotel because of the swimming pool and it turns out that they close it at 4pm so it was practically unusable if you visit the city during the day. The room was a bit small. In general it needs a renovation, the carpet is very dirty and worn. Nevertheless the hotel is reasonable to spend 2 or 3 days of tourism in Washington.

    The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect, with many restaurants and important offices nearby, including the White House. Being in such a central area made it extremely convenient to explore the city. Additionally, the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, providing great service throughout my stay.

    One of the worst aspects of the hotel was the decor, which appeared to be worn and in need of updating. The hallways and room decor were not as impressive as I had expected, lacking the wow factor I have experienced in other hotels.

    My recent stay at Hotel Zena was fantastic! I visited Washington for a few days to explore the city, and the hotel's location was perfect for walking to the main sites like the White House and Congress. The staff at reception were warm and welcoming, and they provided me with a map of the city and great recommendations for places to eat. The lobby and bar were adorned with stunning art deco, giving the hotel a cool and unique vibe. The room design was modern and comfortable, with a very cozy and clean bed. The exterior of the building was also sleek and modern, blending in perfectly with the lively surroundings. the staff was hospitable and made my stay enjoyable.

    Took a private jet to Viceroy destinations, vibrant art everywhere, cool lobby bar, boozy Santa brunch, convenient location near monuments. Cons: Oh, I didn't like it when the rooftop bar served me a cocktail with too many bubbles. How dare they? So uncivilized!

    The decoration of this hotel is simply stunning. The vivid and powerful art celebrating women's achievements brought such joy to my stay. The general areas are not only beautiful but also very accessible for seniors, with wide corridors and comfortable seating areas to rest. It was such a delight to be surrounded by such empowering art, and the hotel's attention to accessibility made my stay so much more comfortable.

    I would ask for better vacation packages for senior people to ensure they have everything they need.

    The accessible room was amazing, with visual fire alarms and notification devices. It was perfect for someone with a hearing disability like me. The spacious connecting rooms were great for hanging out with friends while respecting privacy.

    The rooftop lounge wasn't my vibe, but others might still love it.
