There was a time when the mention of the word “hospital” connotes austere and sanitized surroundings, bad food and generally an unpleasant place for convalescing patients and their visitors. Those days are gone with the advent of medical travel or tourism and Vienna has joined the bandwagon. Today the city offers hospitals and private clinics that rival world-class luxury hotels in terms of design, amenities and service. Needless to say these medical facilities also vouch for top-notch healthcare.

Aside from boasting of the latest technology in surgery and medical treatments (particularly fertility and IVF treatments), the private hospital is also designed and furnished to provide utmost comfort to patients and their families or companions. Most of the rooms have access to their own terrace and equipped with TV and wireless internet.
Goldenes Kreuz Private Clinic. First-time visitors and patients may get disoriented when they walk inside the hospital – designed in earthy tones and in accordance to the Feng Shui design philosophy, the Goldenes Kreuz looks more like an apartment building or a boutique hotel.
