Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s new multi-million five-star hotel – complete with a swimming pool and a PS4

Cristiano Ronaldo recently opened a stylish, football-themed hotel in Portugal’s Madeira, where guests can lounge by a rooftop infinity pool, exercise in an open-air gym, and take a bath in a room designed to look like a football field.

The 48-room Pestana CR7 is partially-owned by the Real Madrid footballer, who grew up where the hotel is based in Funchal, Madeira. It has plenty of sports memorabilia on display, with Ronaldo’s shirts, trophies, and trainers dotted around the hotel.

Pestana CR7 takes its name from Cristiano Ronaldo’s initials and football shirt number.

Despite its luxury feel, the hotel is surprisingly affordable with standard guest rooms beginning at £184 per night.

Pestana CR7 is planning to expand the hotel to other cities including Lisbon, Madrid, and New York City, according to Travel + Leisure.

Take a look inside the hotel below:

Welcome to Pestana CR7, located 20 minutes from Madeira’s Cristiano Ronaldo Airport (formerly known as Santa Catarina Airport).

After taking a private elevator, guests walk along a corridor carpeted to look like a football field to get to their rooms. Ronaldo, who can be seen celebrating his awesomeness at the end of the hall, is also there to greet guests.

Or take a bath in what feels like the middle of a stadium, surrounded by green textured walls that mimic the grass on a football field.

The football theme continues in the communal areas, in the lounge and sports bar, where Ronaldo’s favourite quote: “To be the best, you need the best,” is illuminated on the wall.
