The new Hotel Zena in Washington DC is being heralded as an ode to feminine strength as the new cultural hub celebrates the accomplishments of women.
Situated in Downtown D.C., the 191-room hotel is an interactive art venue designed and curated to send a message of female empowerment and a celebration of people who work together to achieve fundamental civil rights.
Provocative art and design are at the core of Hotel Zena with over 60 pieces of art created specifically for Zena by international artists working for the cause of human rights.
The art revolves around the courage of some of the world's most notable people and their fight for inclusivity and change.
All the pieces are original and painted, photographed, sculpted and stitched by feminists of both genders with powerful stories to share.
While Hotel Zena was created primarily by women, it is a hotel that offers 'a haven for all genders, races, and sexualities; where an atmosphere of strength and femininity live in harmony'.
The hotel opens at a pivotal time in the nation's history.
Its lobby is dominated by an extraordinary portrait of the late, honorable Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The work by Andrea Sheehan and produced by Julie Coyle Studios uses 20,000 hand-painted and repurposed tampons.
Another installation, a curving wall layered with 8,000 protest buttons representing generations of marches and events promoting the feminist movement.
It pays tribute to America's 100th anniversary of the Women's Right to Vote.
The hotel is part of the Viceroy Hotels & Resorts portfolio.
