My first thought on testing would be to look at what is different, and that's the ivy - I'd try hiding that and rendering the outside view and see if it makes the render time more in line with the other scene (which doesn't have the ivy visible). The fact that the ivy is all geometry does sound like it could slow things down.
Shame the stats aren't visible on the internal render to compare what you are getting on those (if you can post, could be interesting!)
If it's not the plants, then maybe the glossy pink floor (also not visible in the first image). You could also try a material override and see if that makes the huge difference in render time, in case it isn't the heavy ivy geometry.
