Swank Outpatient Care at a Mayo Clinic Hotel

Where: 20 SW Second Avenue [map], Rochester, MN, United States, 55902

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has long been known for its top-tier medical services. And as it turns out, there’s a luxury hotel next door with exclusive amenities to match the hospital’s reputation.

The International Hotel prescribes, well, a pillbox full of unexpected amenities for its “highly affluent medical travelers” (aka Mayo outpatients) — including personal escorts to Mayo Clinic appointments and “Ask Mayo” buttons on the room phones that directly connect to Mayo nurses. And here’s something even we’ve never heard of: “purified air pillows.”

The hotel describes its design as “stylish European” with “anything at anytime” service, like pre-arrival phone calls to ensure guest rooms are dialed to the desired temp and stocked with the right foods and drinks. Some 360 global newspapers are available upon request. Room service is top notch, too, able to accommodate any number of dietary restrictions.

If the Minnesota countryside seems like an odd choice for an international hotel, consider that 5,300 international guests travel to Mayo Clinic annually, with 80 percent of outpatients looking for a four- to five-night stay.

Rates start at $450 for an executive room with a king bed.
