Cristiano Ronaldo’s Madrid hotel is hiring, and successful candidates will benefit from some fine job perks. The 39-year-old became a hotelier in 2015, partnering with the Pestana Hotel Group and Madeiran compatriot Dionisio Pestana, reportedly coughing up an initial investment north of £30million. Almost a decade on, the former Manchester United star boasts five separate establishments under his CR7 name, located worldwide in the cities of Madrid, Funchal, Lisbon, Marrakech and New York.
Now, in Spain's capital where he played at the peak of his powers with Real Madrid, Ronaldo’s Pestana CR7 Gran Via has given the public a glimpse into what it is like to work for the superstar through their hiring process. Ronaldo’s property, located on one of the city's busiest streets, is currently looking for waiters, supervisors, receptionists, bar assistants and junior waiters – with any applicants required to have a high level of English and a vocational qualification. Opened in 2021 after the pandemic, Gran Via offers a range of notable perks, including a permanent contract with restaurant tickets and a reduced rate when wishing to visit any of the group’s other locations.
50 days of holiday, a birthday bonus and a 25% discount in all hotel bars and restaurants are included in salaries that reach just over £25,000. Staff would also be offered free health insurance as part of what is reportedly a generous and competitive job opportunity in the Spanish capital. Ronaldo himse.
