Prentice Womens Hotel (I mean HOSPITAL)

We had our first childbirth preparation class on Wednesday night at Northwestern Memorial's Prentice Womens Hospital. Class was quite informative and we really enjoyed it!
I had never been inside Prentice before (it was recently remodeled), so we were pretty excited to get the tour of the building after class. I must say, I've been in MANY hospitals and visited several maternity floors... none compare to this building. I felt as if I were walking through a 5 star hotel (no hospital smell by the way - huge plus). It is ultra modern, which could throw the older generations off a bit because the rooms are quite large with lots of new technology, huge flat screens, special lighting, etc.
Did I mention the beautiful views of Lake Michigan on both the delivery and postpartum floors? Breathtaking. The nurse giving us the tour mentioned that most Mothers don't want to leave once their stay is over... I can definitely see why!
