    I had a great 6 day stay. Such an intentionally curated space filled with art reflecting women advocates and feminists. The room, food , and service was great. I would absolutely recommend especially if you like more boutique style experiences. The food in the restaurant was also great. I ate during happy hour twice.

    Hotel Zena is part of the Viceroy Hotels & Resorts group, and they describe themselves as part hotel and part art gallery. You can totally tell, as when you walk in, the space is well-decorated, super tasteful, and fun to just checkout the artwork. They have guestrooms and suites, inclusive of accessible rooms, a bar & lounge and a rooftop area, a fitness area, as well as a calendar of events that one could partake in. I came here for the event, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Metered and restricted street parking in the area. +art gallery +friendly service +metered and restricted street parking available

    An update: The front desk clerks, valets, and bartenders were all wonderful. The sole blip in service was in trying to use cash to purchase breakfast at the Figleaf bar: They had no cash to make change.

    My wife decided to spend our 10-year anniversary at Hotel Zena. After she arrived to decorate, she noticed that is was a woman-centric, women-empowerment type of vibe. If that turns you away then I understand, but I will tell you that I had an amazing stay, OVERLY amazing brunch + mimosas at FigLeaf Bar, and I enjoyed the art and architecture. This place was very well thought out. From the lobby to the room to the rooftop, the art and design was exceptionally thought out and executed. Overall, my stay was a 4.5/5! I would stay here again!

    This review is for the day pass at Hotel Zena. The rooftop has a great view of Logan Circle. The pool is small and can get crowded at times, so don't come expecting to swim laps. Sometimes, pool guests try to police the splashing, so be aware. The restaurant offers some good gluten-free options but, unfortunately, no frozen drinks. Overall, it's a nice rooftop for a pool day!

    Can we say sexy! I've stayed at so many hotels in DC for daycations and I can't believe it's taken me this long to check out hotel zena! It's right next to Farragut north station! Down the street from SHŌTŌ which is the sexiest sushi spot in DC and the st Regis isn't far as well if you want to check out their bar!!! I love the pink lighting I love the super white bathrooms , I will definitely be back

    I attended an evening pool party for adults on the rooftop and it was so lit! Great views, music, drinks, food, and company. A great way to start my August off and I had a great time. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay here for a night!

    "City view"

    Probably wouldn't stay here again. Very friendly staff, but that's about it. Super uncomfortable beds and not great amenities. I splurged and spent all my carefully earned Chase points on a "city view" room -- which is more like a 2nd floor side street view, with a very bright streetlight in your window after dark. The mattress is really weird and hard, and the pillows are also overstuffed and not very soft (not like Marriott down ones). My back was killing me after just 2 nights, and my friend left to go back to the suburbs and sleep in her bed, it was so bad. Also, the shower made weird run-off noises in the middle of the night, and the toilet made a wheezing noise for quite awhile after flushing as it filled back up (super awesome in the middle of the night). So not the best sleep I've had. The main bar doesn't open until 5pm, so you can't bring a laptop and work anywhere on the main floor with a drink. First hotel I've been in that's like this. The 14th floor rooftop bar you may have seen in photos also isn't open during the "winter season" -- which includes early April as well it seems. So I was generally disappointed in the room AND the amenities I expected.

That jetted tub was supposed to earn its keep. The room: genuinely beautiful. The technology: aggressively dated. The vibe: a 90s time capsule, complete with missing doorknobs. There was effort here, but it felt like the hotel was holding its breath, afraid any real investment might trigger the next recession. What they got right: The bellhops were fantastic. Warm, personable, fun. Truly the highlight. Most staff we interacted with were polite and willing to help, which made the gaps elsewhere even more confusing. What they got wrong (beyond the dated room and tech): For a hotel that loudly advertises luxury service, the customer experience fell flat. Outside of the arrival bowl of fruit, nothing felt elevated. Night two, we ordered pizza and planned a cozy Home Alone movie night. The technology made streaming impossible. Fine, cable it is. We called the concierge and asked for two plates. Just two. The answer was a flat no. We were told to walk down to the lobby restaurant and see if they might have plates "to spare." I'm sorry, what? The next morning, room service arrived... with someone else's order. It was corrected, but for a luxury hotel, that kind of miss is surprising. Housekeeping came through, but only halfway. The coffee and minibar were never restocked. In a suite. At a luxury hotel. This is table stakes. At 9:30 PM we stopped by the lobby circle bar. It was immediately clear the bartenders did not want to be there. I get it, service work is hard. Still, opening our interaction by warning us about last call at 11 set a strange tone. By 10:00, one bartender disappeared for 45 minutes. No refills. No check-in. No bill. Breaks are important. Coverage is also important, especially when you're selling a premium experience. Beyond the bellhops, much of the staff felt irritated to be present. Front desk to concierge, the energy was less "historic luxury hotel" and more "counting down the minutes." The hotel was also clearly prioritizing weekend tea and brunch revenue, to the point that the historic lobby was clogged with extra tables and largely unusable for actual hotel guests. Bottom line: this was not a luxury experience, and I would not recommend it. I'm only posting this publicly because I reached out directly to hotel management and never received a response. At that point, a review feels necessary.

Upon welcome we received free Trolley tickets for one day and some food credits, probably based on our Bonvoy Status (we travel all the time). The price for a room I guess because of the multiple conventions in the place was excessive. I think for a room, not a suite, it would have ben $750 per night during the week. I thought that was a lot so we used points, and the 1st night they had not held our King Room for us, and despite being our anniversary, we had to sleep in a double room and move the next day. Unfortunately, the double room was quiet, and the King Room had an adjoining door and we heard every little thing from the room next door. I would put this down one point, but the service, staffing and helpful Concierge made this place really nice for us.

I'm not sure it's worth the price without the location, the hotel staff weren't particularly friendly or accommodating, and although the rooms were nice, certainly not luxury or as well kept as other JW MARRIOTT locations I've been to. As an Ambassador with Marriott, I was pretty dismayed that I was misled about my room type and sort of dismissed when I could have been in a more front facing room. Not sure I would stay here again unless I wanted a specific view of the George Washington monument.

Asia in particular went above in beyond any way she possibly could. She spent time with us, offered suggestions, and left us feeling like we have family here at the Conrad.

Traveling can be exhausting, and during our stay, my son Colin often went down to the bar and restaurant on his own in the evenings and mornings.

He ordered his meals, sat comfortably, enjoyed his time, and never once felt awkward or out of place. The staff made sure he had what he needed, checked in on him naturally, and created an environment where he felt completely at ease. As a parent, that level of care is something you never forget. For me, the experience was just as special. Corey, the bartender, was exceptional. Each evening, he made sure I had exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and engaged in thoughtful, easy conversation that made the space feel welcoming and safe. It wasn't just service--it was connection, and it made a long, tiring trip feel restorative. This hotel doesn't just deliver luxury--it delivers humanity. The staff understands how to read people, how to make guests feel comfortable, and how to create an atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong. I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people. Thank you to the entire team--and especially Corey--for making this such a memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.
