Opened in 2013
after a total renovation and relaunch, the family-run Hotel Signature St Germain des Prés (formerly known as the Hotel Lindbergh) offers 26 modern, mid-century-inspired rooms in Paris' central, well-heeled St-Germain-des-Prés
neighborhood. From the lobby to the rooms, the interiors are colorful and stylish, and in-room amenities are top-notch. The surrounding neighborhood is picturesque and classically Parisian, with many popular tourist sights within walking distance; some of the higher-floor rooms even afford glimpses of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Rates might feel high for so few facilities -- Wi-Fi is free, breakfast is offered for a fee, and little else is included -- but the boutique-style rooms are something special, the location is hard to beat, and service is generally agreed to be
outstanding.

Scene
Atmopsheric, colorful rebirth of friendly, family-run hotel with retro vibe
Housed in a typically elegant Haussmannian Parisian building, the Hotel Signature St Germain des Prés (formerly Hotel
Lindbergh) underwent a 14-month renovation and transformation and reopened in
2013 in its current incarnation. Run by the friendly Prigent family, the vibe is
unabashedly modern and colorful, with a mid-century aesthetic. The bright and vibrant lobby is filled with retro-inspired furnishings, playful contemporary art
pieces, and quirky knick-knacks that create a chic, homey ambience. A classic wooden spiral staircase winds up the hotel's
six floors, though most of the vacationing couples who frequent the hotel
prefer the spacious elevator (often a luxury in Paris!).
Location
Set in well-heeled, picturesque St Germain-des-Prés in the heart of the Left Bank; walking distance from the Musée d'Orsay
The hotel is set
on a quiet road among well-preserved historic buildings in the well-heeled St Germain-des-Prés area of the Paris' 6th
arrondissement, on the Left Bank. The location has a particularly strong
literary and intellectual heritage; the neighorhood attracted many renowned 20th-century writers and artists to its numerous bars and cafes. The Musée d'Orsay and Musée Rodin are within walking distance, and there are several metro stations with just a few minutes of the hotel that can get you nearly anywhere else in the city within 10 minutes.
Rooms
Colorful, modern rooms with mid-century touches; some have balconies and a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower
The hotel's 26
rooms are tastefully and individually decorated with an understated modern style punctuated by retro furnishings. Vintage-style phones, hanging lamps and, in some rooms, patternedwallpaper give a real sense of character and playfulness, while the classic large Parisian windows guarantee plenty of light. Sleek, contemporary marble bathrooms have L'Occitane bath products, bathrobes, and Italian showers or
shower-tubs combinations, with designer fixtures. Rooms also have free Wi-Fi, minibars, and flat-screen TVs with
satellite channels. All rooms are also air-conditioned and double-glazed and
look out over the street or a quiet courtyard -- some of the higher-tier rooms have a balcony
with a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
Features
Breakfast for a fee, free Wi-Fi, and concierge service
As is typical of many such small, boutique Paris hotels, the Hotel Signature St Germain des Prés has little in the way of facilities. A good but simple breakfast is served in the downstairs breakfast room (renovated after our visit), although it is not included in the rate, so guests are better taking their _petit déjeuner _at one of the many nearby cafés. The quality and attentiveness of service is generally agreed to be excellent, and the staff can help with recommendations and arrangements for dining, sightseeing, transport, and more.
