The bar within the bar. Hidden inside Svanen, this striking offshoot offers a complete change of scene. Named The Ugly Duckling, it swaps Svanen’s vintage elegance for a sleek, sci-fi aesthetic, with metallic interiors that feel almost spaceship-like.

A study in contrast, creativity and meticulous detail – it’s a bar best experienced in person.
