1. Providence Hospital

Top 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in the United States

Address: 6801 Airport Boulevard Mobile, Alabama

A top healthcare staffing company, Soliant, does an annual poll and found that mobile's Providence Hospital got 120,086 votes, which is 23.7% of all votes cast in the country. It was named the Most Beautiful Hospital in the U.S.

Providence is a hospital with 349 beds and about 1,800 doctors, nurses, and other health care workers.

This is what Soliant said about Providence Hospital:

The famous American architect Bertrand Goldberg designed the "draped structure" concrete shell tower at Providence Hospital in the mid-1980s. Goldberg is best known for designing Chicago's famous Marina City complex. The tower rises independently of the base building, creating an abstract and poetic interface. This also makes the hospital stronger in case of earthquakes or hurricanes.

From the ground, the building's curved shapes and tall structure make for interesting views. By damming up a natural gully on the site, a small lake was made to hold storm water. The building fits in well with its peaceful surroundings, and there are beautiful views from both inside and outside.
