Where to stay for Abu Dhabi's season finale is a genuine three-way call, not a default. Yas Island itself puts you within realistic walking distance of the circuit gates, at real luxury-to-mid-range price points. Central Abu Dhabi's Corniche gives you the actual city — restaurants, the waterfront, Abu Dhabi Mall — at the cost of a real daily commute. And Dubai, roughly 90 minutes away via the E11, opens up genuinely better value at every tier, especially budget, if the trip is really about a wider UAE holiday.
