There were rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo sheltered victims of the Morocco earthquake, but management of the hotel has now rubbished those claims.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s hotel in Morocco has reportedly denied claims that it offered to shelter victims of the devastating earthquake which rocked the city.

As per various reports, the Marrakech hotel opened its doors following a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in North African country.

 "This is false information,” the report quoted the hotel. “All the customers we have at the moment have made a reservation normally."
