Indre By
Irreverent design hotel with a strong sense of personality. Playful without being gimmicky. The Passion vs. Knowledge theme runs through the rooms and communal spaces — corkboard walls, vintage typewriters in the lobby, pterodactyls hanging from the Assembly Bar ceiling. More Kinfolk meets art school than polished luxury.
Book a Medium Plus if you want your own private terrace off the Secret Garden — same size as a standard Medium but with outdoor access
Why It Matters
One of the few large design hotels (243 rooms) in Copenhagen's historic city centre that doesn't feel corporate. Part of the Ennismore/Accor group but retains real character. The free minibar is a genuine differentiator in a city where a beer costs a small fortune. NENI restaurant draws locals, not just hotel guests.
Housed in a 19th-century building that served as both a porcelain factory and a university, 25hours Hotel Indre By drops 243 personality-filled rooms into the dead centre of Copenhagen — right between the Round Tower and the Kobmagergade shopping street. The design plays on a tension between Passion and Knowledge: two distinct room styles, a Vinyl Room for record listening, and a Love Library stocked with spicier reading material. Free minibars, Schindelhauer bikes for rent, an outdoor sauna, and the basement rendezvous cocktail bar round out a property that's easy to get genuinely attached to.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Extra Large
A proper 39–42sqm room with a separate living area. Good for extended stays. A Schindelhauer bike is included — you won't have to queue at the rental desk. Kettle and sitting area make the room feel genuinely apartment-like.
King · 40 sqm
Gigantic
The biggest room in the house at 55–59sqm. Separate sleeping and living areas, a bathtub (the only room type with one), and space for an extra bed — so up to 3 adults can sleep here. Schindelhauer bike included. If you're going to splurge anywhere in Copenhagen, this is a solid option.
King · 57 sqmLarge
Runs 24–30sqm — enough extra breathing room for longer stays or families with a travel cot. Some Large rooms overlook the Round Tower and the square below. Kettle added to the standard room amenities.
King, Queen, or Twin · 27 sqmMedium
22–26sqm with your choice of king, queen, or twin configuration. The core room at Indre By, coming in either the Passion or Knowledge design theme. High ceilings, bold artwork, corkboard walls in some configurations. Compact but thoughtfully designed.
King, Queen, or Twin · 24 sqmMedium Plus
Same footprint as the Medium (22–26sqm) but with a private terrace giving direct access to the Secret Garden courtyard. The terrace makes it feel significantly more spacious. A strong pick for couples who want outdoor space without upgrading to a suite.
King, Queen, or Twin · 24 sqmMedium Single
The smallest room in the house, sized between 19 and 25sqm. Cosy single bed — good for solo business travellers or anyone who just needs a comfortable base and plans to spend most of their time outside.
