Xinhua, October 3, 2016 Adjust font size:

Cristiano Ronaldo inaugurated the Pestana CR7 hotel in downtown Lisbon this Sunday.

"Opening a business has been a dream since I was young so I am very happy," Ronaldo said.

"My great passion is still football but I have to think of the future as I don't have long left, who knows if another 10 years," he added, smiling.

Pestana CR7, a four star hotel, opened on August 16 and has 82 rooms, an investment totalling around 15 million euros.

This is the football champion's second hotel in partnership with Pestana, the first one having opened in his home island Madeira.

The hotel offers Ronaldo fans a unique football experience, with animated screens in the lifts telling the footballer's life story and sound sensors in the stair cases projecting the sounds of football fans in a stadium.

There are different rooms on offer, including CR Superior Rooms, CR Superior Rooftop and CR7 suite.

All of the rooms have views over the Tagus river and Lisbon skyline, and are equipped with WIFI, Apple TV, Bluetooth audio, HDMI connections and LED lighting in showers.

The CR7 Suites have Playstation 4 and Virtual, Reality Glasses, and guests are provided with WIFI To Go.

Ambassadors at Pestana CR7 provide customers a customized experience and there is an App so that guests can get workout tips recommended by Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is looking to open hotels in other cities around the world in partnership with Pestana, with Madrid and New York being the next options. Endit
