In an exclusive report by MailOnline, Cristiano Ronaldo has swiftly established a regal experience for himself and his family in their new Portuguese abode, leaving no room for delay in enjoying the royal treatment of their new homeland.
The legendary striker, who just relocated to Saudi Arabia a week ago and became a multibillionaire as a result of the transfer, is currently residing in luxurious surroundings with the best view of the metropolitan area.
As part of the agreement for him to sign with the relatively unknown Al-Nassr club in the Saudi Pro League, the former star player for Manchester United is staying at the Kingdom Tower, which is one of the greatest buildings in the country. The transfer fee for the deal is more than 400 million pounds.
His entourage, which consists of his family, friends, and security detail, are staying in 17 different rooms, one of which is an apartment that is considered to be among the finest that Riyadh has to offer.
The luxurious suite at the hotel, where the best suites have more than 3,000 square feet of space, caters to the whims of the self-described “GOATevery,” so he seldom needs to move an inch. The accommodation also features a private butler service.
He has reservations for the entire month in the large suite, which is considered to be one of the nicest in the 99-story building and covers two levels.
The price of the hotel suite, as well as the adjacent “Royal Suite,” must be reserved privately and is not even mentioned on the hotel’s website. The smaller “Presidential Suite,” meanwhile, can be reserved online for a startling £3300 each night.
When Ronaldo and his entourage check out and find a permanent residence for his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their five children, it is anticipated that the hotel bill would exceed £250,000.
In the meantime, guests can make the most of their five-star temporary accommodation by taking in some of the most spectacular views in the city and indulging in the finest cuisine.
The hotel promises that clients staying in its Kingdom Suite will have a memorable experience thanks to its exclusive view of Riyadh. The hotel’s newest two-story suite can be found on floors 48 and 50 and has a lofty living area, a private office, a dining room, and a media room. Additionally, there is a balcony that overlooks the city.
Even while it only has 2,595 square feet of room, the “Royal Suite” is still significantly larger than the vast majority of apartments in Britain, which is where Ronaldo lived on two separate occasions while he was playing for Manchester United.
According to the hotel, the suite has panoramic views over Riyadh and “its surroundings lend a unique sense of exclusivity to this adaptable suite.” The suite is equipped with an elegant dining room, a pantry, a living room, and an executive study. In addition, the suite contains an executive study.
The tastiest delicacies from China, Japan, India, and the Middle East, made with the freshest ingredients, are available for the Portuguese star to eat.
The 37-year-old footballer must watch his calorie and fɑт intake as an athlete and be cautious about how much food he consumes.
But if he wants to splurge, the football player, who sees himself as “unique,” has access to a full fry up for breakfast or the hotel’s specialty dishes, which include sea bass, beef cutlets, and several of the best lamb and poultry dishes by renowned chefs, for dinner.
Chefs are offering Ronaldo and his family a special in-room dinner service because of his famous status.
The actor has been accommodating to guests and their children and has been observed praising hotel staff as he comes and exits, despite staff requests not to approach him for selfies.
Ronaldo has been drawn to the best eating options throughout the Saudi city. On Saturday night, he dined at the Japanese restaurant Miyazo, which serves “modern cuisine driven by passion, for an opulent world and a creative lifestyle.”
As his security guards watched, he was seen with a large crucifix and a gold and black patterned zip-up jacket while posing for selfies at diners’ requests.
At the upscale Diriyah restaurant, Ronaldo has also enjoyed Lebanese food alongside a Saudi royal and the nation’s senior sports authorities.
Georgina, who has 44m Instagram followers compared to Ronaldo’s 530m, has also found the hotel to be very appealing because it puts luxury shops right outside her door and is located in a shopping center with her favorite brands like Louis Vuitton and the less expensive Zara, which she has been seen shopping at.
Tennis courts, massage therapies, and a spa with a sauna and steam room are additional amenities.
The hotel may arrange for Ronaldo to have an intimate evening supper on the Sky Bridge, which is located at the top of the Kingdom Tower, one of Riyadh’s most well-liked tourist attractions, if he wishes to intensify his romance with Georgina.
His hotel has committed to blocking off the whole Bridge to visitors and establishing
table on the bridge’s middle. The Four Seasons claims on its website that a private meal for two at Sky Bridge will provide you exclusive access to Riyadh’s most breathtaking view.
The bridge, which spans the top of Kingdom Centre, which houses the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh, offers an unparalleled view of the shimmering metropolis below.
The Four Seasons culinary team will create a three-course gourmet supper for you to enjoy at a table lighted by candles in the middle of the bridge.
Every romantic moment will be captured by a skilled photographer, and the stars will never leave your gaze from dusk till dawn.
A search is being conducted to find Ronaldo and his family a long-term, high-quality hiding place while they remain in their hotel.
Ronaldo and his family are most likely to reside in a posh area of the city, such as Al Muhammadiyah, which is renowned for its high-end dining options, or Al Nakheel, which is well-liked by families because of its foreign schools.
Both areas feature a sizeable number of exclusive gated communities catered to residents from the West and are located close to Al Nassr’s 28,000-seat stadium at Mrsool Park, which was originally known as the King Saud University Stadium.
Many of the residents have their very own swimming pools, preschools, stores, clinics, gyms, and restaurants, so they almost ever have to leave their homes.
Despite the fact that alcohol is illegal in the compounds, as it is across the entirety of Saudi Arabia, expats are allowed to socialize with other Westerners on the weekends behind closed doors.
High-end rental compound properties are not often advertised on Saudi Arabian property rental platforms since they are typically rented out through private agreements with the employers of expats. Consequently, these types of properties are not available for rent.
However, one of the homes that is now available for purchase in Riyadh is a castle that has eight bedrooms, an Olympic-sized pool, a reception area with waterfall features, and three other villas on its grounds. The asking price for this property is 55 million Saudi Riyals, which is equivalent to approximately £12.2 million.
In the district of Al Macqa, around three kilometers away from Mrsool Park, there is a palace that has been rumored to be a potential addition to Ronaldo’s portfolio of eight other properties located all over the world. In addition, there are living apartments for butlers, maids, and chauffeurs within the palace.
Because he will not be allowed to play competitive football until he has served his penalty of two matches for punching a child who supported Everton’s mobile phone out of his hand in April of last year, he has plenty of time to aid Georgina and her assistants in choosing a suitable mansion. He was given this punishment for knocking a schoolboy who supported Everton’s mobile phone out of the hand of another schoolboy who was supporting Everton.
However, he will be competing against Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentina team that just won the World Cup. Messi is widely considered to be the best player in the history of the sport.
A source from Al-Nassr claimed that he is likely to play “about 30 minutes” in a friendly match against Messi and PSG in Saudi Arabia. This information was provided three days before his top-ranked team was scheduled to make its home debut in the Saudi Pro League on January 19 against Ettifaq, which was in eighth position.
