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.

Hotel Món Sant Benet advances environmental stewardship through renewable energy, habitat conservation, and responsible mobility initiatives. The property generates more than 70% of its annual energy consumption from on-site solar panels and a private hydroelectric turbine, avoiding over 360 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year. Beyond clean energy, the hotel supports biodiversity through projects that restore the natural connectivity of the Llobregat River, helping native fish species complete their life cycles while enhancing the health of the surrounding ecosystem. Combined with the conservation of riverside forests, electric vehicle charging stations, and bike-friendly infrastructure, these efforts help protect the natural landscapes that define the region and support long-term environmental resilience.
