Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, a leading heart hospital, has become the first NHS hospital trust to earn "outstanding" ratings across the board by inspectors.
The hospital earned the top rating across all five tested areas – safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness and leadership.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors said: "A caring culture ran through the trust."
The CQC's Chief Inspector of Hospitals, Prof Ted Baker, said he was "very impressed by the high-quality care and treatment offered".
"Patients received exemplary care from committed and qualified staff," the report concluded.
