History
The hotel opened in 1974 as the Quality Inn Downtown. By 1984, it was the Holiday Inn Thomas Circle.[1] By 1995, it operated as the Holiday Inn Franklin Square.[2] In 1999, when it was known as the Capital City Hotel, it was purchased by Wright Investment Properties and renamed the Holiday Inn Washington Downtown.[3] The hotel was renovated and reopened in 2008, managed by Thompson Hotels, as the Donovan House Hotel.[4] Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants took over management in 2012, and the hotel was renamed the Kimpton Donovan Hotel.[5] Viceroy Hotels & Resorts took over management in July 2019,[6] and the hotel was renamed The Donovan while it underwent renovation, before being rebranded as Hotel Zena on October 8, 2020.[7] The hotel is themed to female empowerment, with its owner calling it "the first hospitality establishment solely dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of women".[6]
