FoB Copenhagen Reunion 2026 – A Message from Bettina, Lizette and Pauline
Copenhagen will be the setting for the next FoB reunion on August 26th to September 1st, 2026.
Copenhagen is a city where long history and contemporary life is present side by side. Traces of the past are part of everyday life — from the Round Tower rising above the old streets, to the daily march of the Royal Guard through the city. At the same time, Copenhagen is defined by cyclists crossing the bridges, people swimming in the harbor, stopping by neighborhood bakeries, meeting in cafés, and enjoying long summer evenings by the water. Known for its food culture, from simple bakeries to internationally recognized restaurants, the city combines historic charm with modern life, including new neighborhoods along the harbor that show how it continues to grow and renew itself.
Often ranked among the world’s most livable cities, Copenhagen is valued less for spectacle than for how naturally daily life works here — a recognition of how safe, convenient, and pleasant the city is for everyday life.
Hotel for the Reunion
The designated hotel for the Copenhagen Reunion is the 25Hours Hotel Indre By.
We have negotiated a group rate of 2270 DKK (Danish Kroner) per night for a medium room (22-26 sqm) with a King, Queen or twin bed. This is a double occupancy rate that includes breakfast. The rate is 2100 DKK for a single person. Each of you must make your reservation and payment directly with the hotel.
The cancellation policy is a full refund if cancelled 1 month prior to arrival. After that date there will be a 100% charge for a cancellation or no show.
To reserve a room at the hotel for the reunion, you have to contact them by email at Events.indreby@25hours-hotels.com and provide the following details:
– Reference number 2608FRINBL (note that the letter after “FR” is “I” for India)
– Full name, check-in/check-out date, how many people, ages of children
– Credit card number and expiry date – used to guarantee booking; actual payment will take place on arrival/departure. The provided Hotel e-mail is encrypted so it is safe to enter all your info.
If you have kids and you would like a larger room and/or an extra bed, the hotel can provide this at an extra charge, subject to availability.
If you would like suggestions for other hotels (e.g., less expensive), Bettina can provide some. Please contact her at bottenstein@icloud.com.
