Are you coming to Budapest for the Champions League final and secretly dreaming about bumping into Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, or some of the other PSG stars? Then you might want to spend some extra time around the legendary New York Hotel at Blaha Lujza Square.
Rumors currently suggest that PSG will stay at the famous New York Palace Hotel during the Champions League weekend in Budapest. While nothing has officially been confirmed by the club itself, several local sources and football fans expect the French giants to use the luxurious hotel as their headquarters before the big final.
And honestly… it would make perfect sense.
The hotel is one of the most elegant and luxurious places in Budapest, famous for the stunning New York Café, crystal chandeliers, marble interiors, and old-world luxury that feels more like a movie set than a normal hotel lobby.
So yes — if you stay nearby, drink coffee in the area, or simply walk around Blaha Lujza Square during the weekend, you might suddenly spot some of the biggest football stars in the world walking past you.
Will Hakimi grab a coffee?
Will Dembélé sneak out with headphones and sunglasses?
Will Doué become the most photographed teenager in Budapest?
Nobody knows.
But football fans will definitely be watching closely.

Champions League Final 2026 in Budapest: Arsenal vs PSG
What About Arsenal?
So far, no reliable information has been shared about where Arsenal is expected to stay during the Champions League final weekend.
That means Arsenal fans currently have a bit more detective work to do.
Of course, it is entirely possible that both clubs will try to keep their locations as private as possible for security reasons, but in a city like Budapest, rumors spread quickly — especially when thousands of football supporters suddenly appear in luxury hotel lobbies pretending they are “just here for the coffee.”
Budapest Will Be Completely Packed
If you are traveling to Budapest for the final, one thing is absolutely certain:
The city will be FULL.
Hotels are already nearly sold out in many central areas. Restaurants around the city center are expected to be fully booked. Bars, fan zones, river cruises, and tourist attractions will all be overflowing with supporters from both clubs — plus neutral football fans from all across Europe.
In other words:
Do not wait until the last second.
Reserve restaurants early.
Book accommodation immediately if you still have not done so.
And expect massive crowds around the city center, especially near Deák Ferenc Square, Blaha Lujza Square, and the areas around the stadium.
