[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.
