Tenface: Cozily chic

One look at the Tenface lobby proves that serviced apartments are no longer reserved for software engineers or management consultants on long-term assignments.

For less than the price of a decent hotel in the area you’ll get a spacious suite with plenty of room for entertaining -- not that you’ll want to hang out in your room, as its cozy bar is as chic as it gets. Tenface offers guests some pretty useful amenities. Our favorites are the prepaid Skytrain card, mobile SIM card and iPod Nano (which must be returned upon check-out, of course).

Though Tenface is just 10 minutes away from the nearest Sky Train station and close to lots of restaurants and nightlife, it’s hidden enough from the main road that it still feels like Bangkok’s best kept hotel secret.
