Destination healthcare consumers and their traveling companions will soon enjoy all the niceties Hilton hotels have to offer—as long as the provider organization of the patient’s choice is the Mayo Clinic in Florida.
Mayo Clinic announced the $70 million project Sept. 28, stating construction is to begin next summer and finish in early 2024.
Mayo’s partners in the venture are the hotel developer Concord Hospitality Enterprises and the real estate private equity firm Whitman Peterson, according to the announcement.
“As a premier destination medical center, exceeding the current and future needs of our patients is our top priority,” says Kent Thielen, MD, Mayo Clinic Florida’s CEO. “We are excited to be offering this type of high-end hotel accommodation to further enhance our patients’ experience when traveling to our campus for care.”
Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta adds that the combination medical campus/vacation complex will allow the company to “offer patients and their families our signature hospitality when they stay with us while receiving world-class care.”
