Stay young at heart inside this former university, that takes you back to school in a spirit of whimsical fun.

25hours Hotel Indre By is located in a 19th century building that previously housed a porcelain factory and then was a university building. Tongue-in-cheek references to its school days are everywhere, from the sculpture of books in the reception and blackboard-style art on the walls, to typewriters just waiting for guests to pen a letter back home. The 243 rooms are divided aesthetically between ‘Passion’ and ‘Knowledge’, adorned with reproductions of notes by Charles Darwin and Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe.

Learning is a journey of discovery after all, and hidden places in the hotel – from the Vinyl Room to the Love Library – are waiting to be found. Pull up a chair at NENI restaurant, where hand-painted lampshades pay homage to the artsy Bloomsbury Group, and then let your mind run free with the help of the cocktails at the Boilerman Bar in the basement.
