Britain's maternity hospital The Portland is making child birth a lavish affair thanks to its five star set up. With ultra posh suites, an afternoon tea menu -- similar to that of The Ritz -- and Dom Perignon, this health center could easily be mistaken for a luxury hotel.
The Portland was previously a private maternity hospital reserved for the likes of the Duchess of York, Victoria Beckham and Middle Eastern royalty. Now, the premium clinic is set to give everyday mothers a taste of the luxe life as it is set to open to the public.
The Portland provides a holiday experience with an à la carte menu in addition to the best medicine. After birth, babies are cared for in the hospital's nursery while mothers can enjoy their suites, gourmet cuisine and a fantastic champagne selection.
