24. Sumner Regional Medical Center, Gallatin, TN, USA
This 155-bed hospital is attractive to the eye on the inside and on the outside. The interior is finished
with comfortable leather lounging chairs, marble accents, and entertainment-style televisions to allow
patients and their visitors to feel at home. With careful consideration to the use of glass walls, the
hospital also keeps a warm and inviting environment by their balance between natural and artificial
light. On the exterior, a high glass tower takes center stage and is surrounded by a mix of glass and
other warm materials. Lush landscaping completes the design, and is tended to by a in-house
landscaping and maintenance staff.

This hospital is set in a quiet residential neighborhood, and its architectural design fits in perfectly
with the surrounding buildings and homes. The exterior landscape complements the design, with
lush and tended-to greens and shrubbery that invite patients and guests to spend free time
outdoors. With the feel of a luxury hotel on the interior, patients can experience a peaceful and
relaxing recovery time, and often remark that they feel more like a “guest” than a patient.

A mix of new and old architecture comes together at this hospital so that visitors will not notice a
stark change in design, only a uniform and flowing expansion that unifies functionality and
operations. The interior features many of the amenities of similar hospitals, like semi-private and
private rooms, housekeeping, and more, but the real attraction to CRMH comes with its exterior
design. One side of the hospital uses brick and concrete to frame the windows of patient rooms
while a new, modern expansion utilizes walls of glass as the main design element on its curved
facade.

Whitepaper Offers (3)
CORPORATE RESEARCH
Affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine International, this hospital has been recognized as one of
Central and South America’s most advanced medical centers and is a top destination for Medical
Tourism. Facilities include 51 modern and private rooms, 11 suites and 1 presidential suite, all
specially designed to promote and enhance rapid recovery. The setting of the hospital adds to its
appeal, as it sits along the Pacific Ocean in one of Panama City’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
Light and dark contrasting materials allow the eye to be pulled in to its horizontal exterior design,
where glass and concrete come together to create beauty near the sea.
20. Medical University of South Carolina Ashley River Tower –
Charleston, SC, USA
This hospital’s beautiful setting along the Charleston Peninsula alone gives it a place on this list, but
it also has great amenities and a hotel-like interior design. The entrance, lined with lush landscaping
and bluestone tiles, allows patients and their families to drive right up to the doors, then leave their
car for the valet service to park. Inside, a 6,000 ft. conservatory with glass walls, skylights, and
indoor plants welcomes patients and visitors while serving as the connector between the two main
wings of the building. For patients, privacy is assured with their 156 single person rooms, complete
with a full bath and pull-out couch for family and visitors.
19. Prince of Wales Private Hospital – Sydney, Australia
Located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, this hospital has both private and shared facilities,
including 168 overnight beds with modern amenities. Attractive designs utilizing structural steel
framing and glass along with unique architectural details on the exterior compliment the modern
facilities on the interior. Newly renovated operating rooms also lend to the modern and sleek design
of the interior, as well as improve its functionality and equipment quality.
18.Providence Alaska Medical Center – Anchorage, AK, USA
Described by visitors and patients as “functional and stunning”, this high-tech medical center has a
lot to offer medically and aesthetically in addition its beautiful setting. The campus is undergoing a
$150 million renovation and expansion to its NICU, Prenatal, and Mother Baby Units, slated for
completion in 2014. Aside from semi-private and private patient rooms, this hospital also features a
family resource library and a nearby guest house for families and those undergoing outpatient
procedures.
17. Klinik Hirslanden – Zurich, Switzerland
The Klinik Hirslanden has a sleek, modern design on the interior and exterior, and houses 259 single
and double rooms. Besides amenities like cable television, internet, adjustable beds, full baths, and a
housekeeping service that tends to the fresh flowers in each room 3 times a week. With a program
called Hirsland Privé, the hospital provides a Guest-Relations service which offers patients the
services of an attendant to care to their personal concerns. Hirslanden also invests heavily in the
latest medical technologies and established Switzerland’s first CyberKnife radiosurgery unit.
16.Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula – Monterey,
CA, USA
Situated on the California coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean on environmentally protected land,
this hospital’s description alone is enough to invite any potential patient into the facility. The redesign
of the building in the early part of the millennium was intended to adhere to the design intentions
from the original architect, Edward Durell Stone, with low, striking roof lines and natural lighting
throughout each public space.
15. Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital – Vancouver, WA, USA
From the outside, this six-story hospital lights up the sky with its elevated glass walkways and pulls
in the eye with curved facades and a mix of materials, like stone, glass, brick, and metal that carry
through to the inside. Outdoor courtyard spaces and terraces help visitors and staff find peace
outside of the walls of the hospital, while natural light and warm hues are used inside to help extend
that outdoor feeling to the inside. Two large, L-shaped patient towers are situated to optimize the
views of neighboring Mt. Hood and the surrounding natural habitat.
14. Clemenceau Medical Center – Beirut, Labanon
CMC, affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine International, boasts a “5-star hotel ambiance” with
conveniences like televisions and Internet access for its patients. A modern glass and concrete
exterior is complimented with spacious interior rooms that allow for a “cozy” feeling. The interior
design also allows them to use innovative medical equipment like completely film-less digital
imaging centers and real-time video conferencing equipment to connect with other physicians and
specialists inside or outside of CMC.
13. Dixie Regional Medical Center – St. George, UT, USA
Located in a desert setting near Zion National Park in Utah, the architects and designers of this
hospital had to take a lot into consideration to avoid heat gain, like building orientation and sunshading. The designers took their inspiration from the land in the surrounding Zion canyons, and
utilized skylights to bring the natural light deep into the building. The interior features all single rooms
and has a central concourse that connects all of the different buildings in the complex, offering
separate entrances for major services such as surgery, cardiology, and imaging. From the inside,
patients and visitors can view to the surrounding desert, Xeriscape gardens full of indigenous plants,
and water features all around the facility.

12. Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies – Orlando,
FL, USA
This hospital was designed with beauty and function in mind for the interior and the exterior. From
the extensive use of glass to illuminate the interiors with natural light, the vertical structures to
improve patient-staff proximity and observation, and a glass globe entry way, this hospital uses its
unique design as a main component of the healing and recovery process. The interior is filled with
calming colors and tones and patient rooms were designed for ultimate privacy.

11. St. Luke’s Medical Center - Global City, Philippines
SLMC has received international accreditation and is recognized as one of the best hospitals in Asia
and the entire world. As such, it regularly receives patients from around Asia, Micronesia, the Middle
East, Europe and the United States. This hospital holds 650 patient beds, with almost half of those
available as fully-furnished, private suites with televisions and other modern conveniences to make
every visit as comfortable as possible.
10. Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh – Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Innovative and welcoming, this hospital successfully merges technological advancements with
soothing and comforting design for its visitors. Full integration of technologies like EHR and CPOE,
the pediatric hospital is one of the leading in the country and has designed its campus with a familyfriendly feel, complete with playful interiors, private rooms, a family resource center with a four-story
atrium and dining area, a Healing Garden library, musical therapy room, and a business center for
families and parents.
9. The London Clinic – London, England, United Kingdom
This facility was designed with patients’ comfort in mind and includes soothing interior colors and the
use of natural light (even in lower-level patient rooms through the use of a light atrium) with modern
amenities like flat screen televisions in each patient room. In addition to the design and furnishings,
The London Clinic also commissioned an integrated arts program to be a part of their design for
comfort and well-being.
8. St. Rose Dominican Hospitals, Siena Campus – Las Vegas,
NV, USA
This Spanish missions-style building is not only appealing to the eye from the exterior, but from the
interior as well. From the inside, patients and their families have great views of downtown Las Vegas
and nearby desert landscape. The interior has incredible features that help visitors feel more
welcomed, like the 100-foot bell tower and entry rotunda, including encouraging and biblical
quotations that are reflected throughout the entire facility, and a ¾-acre indoor garden where visitors
can take gardening classes and enjoy the beauty of desert plant life.
7. Bumrungrad International Hospital - Bangkok, Thailand
This hospital is one of the most popular medical tourism destinations in the world, and treats over
400,000 foreign patients each year from various countries like Sweden, the United States, China,
and Afghanistan. The designs of the patient rooms use soothing colors and warm furnishings, like
natural woods and plush fabrics. With air-conditioned walkways connecting several towers that make
up the main structure, the hospital also includes two levels of restaurants and shopping areas.
6. UPMC Hamot Women’s Hospital – Erie, PA, USA
This newly constructed facility offers patients and visitors a grand 2-story entryway, 40-foot water
wall, and picturesque views of nearby Presque Isle Bay and the neighboring downtown area. The
interior evokes a feeling of calm and relaxation for patients and mothers-to-be with warm earth
tones and comfortable furnishings. From spa-like delivery rooms to indoor “outdoor” rooms that cater
to newborns and families housed in the NICU, designers use calming affects and finishes to bring
comfort to all who are visiting.
5. The City Hospital – Dubai, UAE
This hospital can sometimes make patients feel like they’re in a 5-star luxury hotel instead of a care
facility. It offers patients and their families access to a heated indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna,
Jacuzzi and gym, along with the VIP floor that has a separate entrance, elevators and valet service,
with 12 suites that are designed and furnished to provide the highest levels of comfort.
4. Florida Hospital Waterman – Tavares, FL, USA
This hospital was designed with patients, staff, and the environment in mind. In addition to multiple
staff rooms to eliminate noise and “stuffy” areas, the hospital was also designed around the natural
habitat of endangered birds that call the area home. This included non-reflective exterior glass,
investigations in flight patterns, and altering helicopter routes around the birds’ natural flight paths.
On the exterior, an eye-catching hovering roof connects the modern addition to the hospital with one
of its original buildings, while the interior boasts a hotel-like ambiance with a concierge at the
entrance and soft, comforting furniture throughout.
3. Matilda International Hospital – Hong Kong, China
This modern hospital in Hong Kong is beautifully situated on the historic Victoria Peak, known
informally as “The Peak”, overlooking the South China Sea on Hong Kong Island. On the inside, its
“operating theater” uses innovative designs with glass paneled walls and LED lighting along with
ceiling pendants to maximize the flexibility of the room.
2. Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital – Bloomfield, MI, USA
Not only does this 160-acre hospital campus have aesthetically pleasing buildings on the exterior as
well as a shopping mall-like interior, but it is also LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) Certified for its use of natural light for heating and cooling, rainwater collection and filtration
system, recycling programs, and more. With wide use of interior landscaping and design, visitors
and patients almost never feel like they’re in a hospital.
1. Sharp Memorial Hospital – San Diego, CA, USA
Often compared to a high-end department store or hotel, this hospital’s design is a sharp contrast to
the sterile white walls and big bulky equipment that often comes to mind when we think of large
medical facilities. Equipped with a separate set of elevators for patients or medical staff and the
public, as well as a rooftop garden, all private rooms with pull-out couches for guests, and museumquality paintings adorning the walls, patients and their families may be tempted to stay longer just for
the fun of it.

great, topping other big and developing countries!
Whoever thought of this, whatever organizations doing

directing sick patients where to go to receive the best
medical attention and that again as a Filipino, I am
proud for St. Luke’s Hospital Global City! I congratulate

Congratulations to SLMC. I’m so proud to read this, coz
I learned that the Project Managers during its
construction were my former colleagues from
SPCastro,Inc. Congratulations guys. During my trip to
Manila from Jakarta July of 2011, I had a chance to
chat w/ some of PAL’s fellow passengers, I was
surprised to know that some of them are Medical
Tourist who had scheduled Med. Chek-up at SLMC.
One of my questions to them, is why not in Singapore…
and the answer is, going to Manila is better in terms of
cost, quality,service and it is almost like Jakarta…

good to know that phil.have one good hospital , looking
the photos look great with the ghostly white lights. but it
still look like it belongs to a third world country. the
interior is trying hard to feel like it,s a serviced
apartment or a cheap hotel. the exterior style is dated ,
7o’s architecture, don’t know if it looks good by day.
sorry guys the service and doctors might be superb but
the building isn’t.

ALTHOUGH I’M PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO, I FIND IT
RIDICULOUS RANKING ST. LUKE’S MEDICAL
CENTER-GLOBAL CITY AS ONE OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL HOSPITALS IN THE WORLD. They should
have surveyed the said area, knowing it is situated in
the neighboring business district of Makati. The location
isn’t ideal for attracting greater clientele and also, it is in
the verge of bankruptcy. The said hospital just needs a
little propaganda so they can reap rewards. Some of
the vacant units or areas are closed due to low census
of patients, to the point that they offer 50% discount of
their services!!!

I had worked for many years in SLMC, but I’m not proud
of this “achievement”. So what if it’s one of the “most
beautiful”? Does that equate to “best patient care
services”? There are other far better hospitals in Manila
or in the rest of the Philippines for that matter. They
may not have the well-manicured grounds or grand
lobby to show, but they make up for good healthcare
services that don’t leave their patients’ families
penniless. I think that’s what’s more significant to most
patients…it’s their quality of life after they have been
hospitalized and not whether the hospital concierge
looks like a 5-star hotel.

Nice one SLMC ! I’m proud that one of the hospitals

hospitals … It’s a nice thing. But I am also sad because
there are still a lot of hospitals here in the Philippines
that needs more improvement. I really hope after 10-20
years, more and more hospitals here would improve so
that quality care would be given to all the Filipino
people, irregardless of their financial status.

rest of the Hospitals who made it! and MABUHAY!!!

I underwent brain surgery for biopsy at another Medical
Center, the experienced was woozy. It took several
hours before I was able to open my eyes and I felt so
tired. Because Doctors in Cardinal Santos refused to do
further surgery for me to remove the tumour completely,
I decided to go to ST. LUKES Global and there I found
the miracle. I felt like I was in the Western Hemisphere
when you go inside the edifice, and the Doctors are
fantastic and highly trained. Right after surgery, I was
already awake, I knew then that I was being put in the
recovery room or ICU. The experience was far more
better than Cardinal Santos Medical Center. It is really
one of the WORLD’s best hospital. The cost is
comparable to others, sometimes lesser. The people,
the doctors, nurses are so professional. I pray to God
for St. Lukes Hospital to be the best hospital ever.

Dixie Regional is a gorgeous hospital campus — inside
and out. The grounds are xeriscaped with beautiful
desert plants and the interior design and art provide a
healing escape for patients and their families. The
hospital’s best features, though, are the compassionate
people who work here. It’s a warm friendly place to
receive care.

The design credits for #15 Legacy Salmon Creek
Hospital, Vancouver, Washington and #18 Providence
Alaska Medical Center, Anchorage are incorrect.
ZGF Architects, LLP designed both.
On the Legacy Project, Walker Macy was the landscape
architect consultant that worked with client and us.
Doug Macy was not contacted for verification of the
design credits.
Providence Alaska Project described in Text is
designed by ZGF in association with Architects Alaska
as was the previous hospital expansion. The listed firm
is not involved in the current or prior expansion project.
It has been a privilege to work with these two
outstanding clients and I wanted to set the record
straight.

Karl,
Thank you for pointing out those corrections. It was
quite difficult to find the designers for all of the hospitals
listed, and to ensure the accuracy of the listings, so we
have updated the article to remove the designers from
the list.
Thank you again for your comment and congratulations
on being a part of the team at ZGF!

Terri, thank you for leaving your comment. Dixie
Regional is definitely a gorgeous campus and it’s
wonderful to hear that the beauty is reflected in its staff
as well!
Kiran, thanks for the suggestion. We will keep that in

I am so happy that my daughter worked in one of the
most beautiful hospitals in the world (#4). I am also very
proud of SLMC being a Filipino. Our doctors, nurses
and all medical staff including the clerical staffs are all
very hospitable and take
care of their patients with love. They are also the best
in the world. Mabuhay!!!!

I am very proud to have TWO hospitals here in our
wonderful florida. I work at Florida Hospital and I live in
Orlando. Not only is Florida Hospital Waterman
beautiful, but I know our patients get great care. My
friends and family have had their babies at Winnie
Palmer and it is indeed a wonderful place to give birth
at. I love the way the rooms are set up in a circular
motion with the nurses stations in the middle. AND its
soooo quiet! you never would know when the baby is
crying. I was visiting my friend Vanessa and I wasnt
until we opened the door and walked in past here small
lobby area inside her bedroom that we heard the baby.

Agree w/ random. The ranking was based on its
architecture and design , the structure’s beauty not the
quality or cost of services . It was actually a pat on the
back for the designers / artists . But for those who work
in SLMC , congratulations and may the hospital’s
beauty translate to all your eagerness to provide quality
care too.

“hospitals for rich peaople so sad”
I work for #22 and have for 10 years. You are so totally
wrong. We are not for profit and take people regardless
of their ability to pay. Everyone gets the same care no
matter if they are homeless or a multimillionaire. I’m
sure some of the other hospitals do the same also.

What beautiful hospitals these are, I never knew there
were so many wonderful places to go when you’re sick.
It almost makes one want to be sick just to get there
and maybe spend a night or two. (Outstanding)…

I enjoy viewing all of the beautiful hospitals displayed.
It’s nice to know so much attention has been dedicated
to the charm and well being of design and color. Just to
be honest, I would not try to get ill just to allow myself a
visit, I think I’d just come in and take a stroll through any
one of them…
