Hôtel Signature Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a small boutique hotel with 26 rooms, tucked into a townhouse on a quiet street in the 7th arrondissement. It used to be called Hôtel Lindbergh, named after the aviator, and it has kept that intimate, low-key feel even after its recent update. The rooms are compact and stylish, with a look that leans elegant rather than flashy. There is no restaurant or bar on site, just a small breakfast room and a warm welcome at a tiny front desk.
The address is 5 rue Chomel, one block from Le Bon Marché, the grand department store that has anchored this part of the Left Bank since the 19th century. Sèvres-Babylone, with its two metro lines, is a short walk away. This is Saint-Germain-des-Prés at its most residential: quiet stone buildings, small galleries, and neighborhood bakeries rather than souvenir shops.
Guests who stay here are usually here for the location as much as the hotel itself. Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots are a walk away, the Jardin du Luxembourg is close enough for a morning stroll, and the boutiques of rue de Sèvres and rue du Cherche-Midi are right outside the door. It’s a good base for anyone who wants to feel like they live in the neighborhood, not just visit it.

Our verdict
Walking in from rue Chomel, the first thing you notice is how quiet the street is. There’s no big lobby, no crowd, just a small reception desk and someone ready to hand you a key. The building still has the bones of an old townhouse, and the decor plays that up with warm wood, brass details, and soft lighting. It feels more like staying in a well-kept apartment than a big hotel.
The rooms carry that same feeling. Even the smaller ones are dressed well, with good linens and a bathroom that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Guests in recent reviews consistently describe the staff as attentive, the kind of people who remember your name by the second day. That matters in a hotel this size, where the same two or three people run the whole show.
The real friction shows up around food and space. Breakfast is not included and costs about €20 a person, which stings for a hotel where the smallest room is only 10 square meters. Guests are also asked to sign an agreement not to bring outside food into their room, a rule several recent reviewers found stricter than expected for a boutique hotel. If you book a room in the Cosy or Elegant category, expect a genuinely compact space, more suited to sleeping and getting ready than lounging.
What stays with you after a night here is the sense of being tucked into a real Parisian neighborhood. Step outside and you’re instantly among locals doing their shopping, not tourists taking photos. That trade-off, small rooms for a real address, is really what this hotel is selling.
The rooms: real square meters
| Category | Size | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| The Cosy | 10 m² | 1–2 |
| The Elegant | 13 m² | 2 |
| The Balcony | 13 m² | 2 |
| The Family (two connected rooms) | 2 × 12 m² | 4 |
| The Patio | 23 m² | 2 |
| The Prestige | 30 m² | 2 |
| Prestige + Extra Bed | 30 m² | 3 |
| Prestige Family | 60 m² | 4 |
Our advice: book at least The Patio if you can. Below that, the rooms are tight for anything beyond a short stay, especially for two people with luggage.
What a night really costs
Prices start around $248 a night in quieter periods and climb toward €455 for the nicest rooms in high season. We couldn’t confirm an exact month-by-month calendar, so treat these as a range rather than a fixed price. Spring and early fall tend to be the most expensive times to visit Paris, and this hotel likely follows that pattern.
What gets added to the bill:
- Breakfast: about €20 per person, not included in the room rate
- City tourist tax: charged per person, per night. The hotel’s star category isn’t confirmed (see above), so budget for the higher 4-star rate of €8.45 per person per night; under-18s are exempt
- No confirmed on-site parking; if driving, plan on a nearby public garage

Frequently asked questions
Is Hôtel Signature Saint-Germain-des-Prés a 3-star or 4-star hotel?
Review sites are split. The hotel’s own website doesn’t publish a star rating, one major review site lists it as 4-star, and a price aggregator lists it as 3-star. We’ve used the 4-star tourist tax rate in this guide since it matches the hotel’s price point, but confirm at check-in.
Where exactly is the hotel located?
At 5 rue Chomel in the 7th arrondissement, one block from Le Bon Marché department store and a short walk from Sèvres-Babylone metro station.
Is breakfast included in the room rate?
No. Breakfast is offered separately and costs around €20 per person, based on recent guest reviews.
Can I bring my own food into the hotel?
The hotel asks guests not to bring outside food into their rooms. Several recent reviewers mention being asked to agree to this at check-in.
Is there an elevator?

How far is the hotel from the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower?
Both are roughly a 25 to 30-minute walk, or about 15 minutes by metro with one change. It’s a good base for the Left Bank rather than a fast base for either landmark.
Is this hotel good for families?
The Family and Prestige Family rooms can sleep up to four, but the entry-level rooms are very small. Families needing more space should book the Prestige Family category.
