"A recent addition to Viceroy Hotels’ Urban Retreats Collection, the female-focused Hotel Zena, was fashioned from the Adam’s rib of two previous hotels, a Holiday Inn and Donovan House. The stylish interior was commissioned from a woman-owned design group; the walls and ceilings feature vibrant, provocative art created by and depicting women; and even the general manager overseeing the day-to-day operations is a woman. In partnership with N Street Village, Hotel Zena supports D.C. women experiencing homelessness. The hotel also offers weekly speed-dating nights at the Figleaf Bar & Lounge and meditation classes led by neighborhood wellness guru, Faith Hunter." - Ann Shields
