Hotel Món Sant Benet

Hotel Món Sant Benet is owned and operated by the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation with an emphasis on cultural heritage and enriching experiences for all. The hotel’s 1,000-year-old legacy is demonstrated through the medieval monastery and summer residence of modernist painter Ramon Casas located on the grounds. Staff also pride themselves on embracing both tradition and locality through dining with a Michelin-starred venue, Restaurant L'Ó, that utilizes a zero-kilometer philosophy with its own Eco-Orchards initiative and locally sourced ingredients that support the Spanish economy.

All of the hotel’s profits are reinvested into social and environmental projects that impact a collective 1.6 million people each year. Many different pillars play into this model, with efforts spanning educational tools and scientific vocation counseling for youth, memory reinforcement programs and emotional support for the elderly, and significant advancements through the Alícia Foundation, a food and health organization. Inclusive employment is also in play, providing chances to practice regenerative agriculture and learn professional skills in a supportive environment.

Mongolian music and dance students at the Gobi Hanhongor School receive supplies and instruments from the lodge and are invited to perform live for guests. Three Camel Lodge’s scholarship program also provides support for performing arts students studying at the university level to help keep Mongolia’s music and dance heritage thriving into the future.
