Barrett-Jackson Week Lodging, 20 Minutes From WestWorld
A private 10-acre estate about 20 minutes from the auction floor, with room for up to 16 guests and a gate between your group and the crowds.
The Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction is the largest event on the collector-car calendar: nine days at WestWorld each January, more than a thousand vehicles crossing the block, and hundreds of thousands of people through the gates. Saguaro Point puts your group in a private, gated estate about 20 minutes from the auction floor, with the room to host a dinner, run a poker game, or just get some quiet before the next session.
Bidders, sellers, and the friends who come for the spectacle all want the same thing after a full day at WestWorld: some quiet and room to spread out. The estate is 9,000 square feet on ten gated acres, with a heated pool and spa, a game room with billiards and poker, and a private Celebrity Greens practice complex out back.
January in Scottsdale is peak season, and auction week packs a year's worth of demand into nine days. One address for the whole party beats splitting up: one kitchen, one gate between your group and the crowds. It's part of why the estate won Best Luxury Vacation Rental in Scottsdale at the 2026 Evergreen Awards.
Why Saguaro Point
About 20 Minutes From WestWorld
Close enough for a morning preview, a swim at midday, and the evening auction session without the drive turning into a chore. All nine days of the sale are an easy round trip from the estate.
Ten Gated Acres, One Group at a Time
No shared amenities, no other guests, no lobby. The estate sits at the top of its own hill in North Scottsdale, which matters to buyers who would rather not be recognized in a hotel bar.
A Kitchen, a Dining Room, and Three Great Rooms
Host a client dinner or close a deal without leaving the property. A private chef, formal dining, and fire pits outside make it easy to entertain during the busiest week of the Scottsdale calendar.
Close to WestWorld, Far From the Crowds
Close to WestWorld, but not on top of it. Auction week fills the hotels nearest the venue fast, and with nine days of sessions, that means nine days in a small room. A private North Scottsdale estate about 20 minutes out means an easy daily drive, plus somewhere worth coming back to between sessions. Saguaro Point hosts one group at a time on 10 gated acres, so the week runs on your own schedule and your own kitchen.
Nine Days of Horsepower, Start to Finish
The first few days are quieter: automobilia sessions, exhibitor rows, and previews you can walk at your own pace while the crowds are thin. By the weekend, WestWorld is shoulder to shoulder and the headline cars cross the block during prime time, with the no-reserve format Barrett-Jackson is known for turning every sale into real theater. In between, manufacturer displays, ride-and-drives, and vendor rows can eat a full afternoon on their own. Sessions run late on the big nights. A quiet place to come back to starts to matter more with each one.
Serious Buyers Book a Private House
Buyers who come back every year book a private house, and it's for the same reasons each time. Negotiations and celebrations stay behind your own gate instead of playing out in a hotel bar. When a client or a fellow collector needs a dinner invitation, a chef's kitchen, a formal dining room, and a fire-pit patio make it easy to host one. Nine days of auction adrenaline is a lot to sustain without somewhere to decompress. A heated pool, a 104-degree spa, and a lighted putting green do that job at the house.
The Whole Group Stays Busy
Not everyone in the party wants nine straight days of bidding. The estate keeps the rest of the group busy: golf on the private practice complex or at Troon North, Grayhawk, The Boulders, and TPC Scottsdale, all within 20 minutes; the pool heated to 88 degrees in winter; billiards, poker, and the Full Swing simulator indoors; and the Four Seasons resort and spa directly across the street. Tee times, private chefs, and transportation can all be arranged ahead through VacayAZ, the property's booking and coordination partner.
A Sample Auction Week at the Estate
Fly into Sky Harbor, 30 to 35 minutes out, and arrive on opening weekend with the kitchen already stocked through VacayAZ. Spend the early days walking the docket and the afternoons on your own greens or a round at Troon North, 5 minutes away. Midweek, host the dinner: private chef, formal dining room, wine cellar, fire pits. As the headline lots approach, the buyers settle into WestWorld while the rest of the group splits between the pool, the simulator, and the Four Seasons across the street. Saturday night runs the latest, since that's when the biggest cars cross the block. Sunday morning is for the spa before the drive back to Sky Harbor.
The Experience
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Saguaro Point from WestWorld of Scottsdale?
About 20 minutes, door to door. WestWorld runs sessions morning through night across all nine days of the auction, and the drive is short enough to make more than once: a swim at the house between sessions, or a late return if the evening bidding runs long.
How many guests can the estate host during auction week?
Eight bedrooms, thirteen beds, and 6.5 baths sleep up to 16 guests, enough room for buyers, partners, family, and crew to stay together at one address instead of coordinating across hotels.
Is the estate good for entertaining clients during Barrett-Jackson?
Yes. A chef's kitchen with an oversized island, a formal dining room, three great rooms, fire pits, and a heated pool make it easy to host a dinner or close a deal without leaving the property. Private chefs can be arranged in advance through VacayAZ.
How private is Saguaro Point for high-profile guests?
The estate sits on 10 gated acres at the top of its own hill in North Scottsdale, and only one group is ever on the property at a time. Nobody is walking past your table at breakfast or recognizing you at a shared pool. For a week this visible, that privacy is often the whole point.
Can we arrange transport for a vehicle we buy at the auction?
Yes. Barrett-Jackson runs shipping and transport services on site at WestWorld, so most buyers arrange delivery before they leave the venue. On the lodging side, VacayAZ can line up black-car service and local logistics for your group all week.
Do we need auction tickets in advance?
Buy ahead for the weekend sessions, which draw the biggest crowds, and note that bidders register with Barrett-Jackson separately before the event. Weekday admission is easier, and the estate's 20-minute drive means any session window works without rebuilding your day around it.
What is traffic like around WestWorld during the auction?
Weekend afternoons are the crunch, with lots filling and rideshare zones backing up as the headline cars approach the block. Staying about 20 minutes north means you slip in and out against the heaviest flow, and a standing driver arranged through VacayAZ removes the parking question entirely.
What is the weather like in late January?
Prime Scottsdale season: sunny days in the 60s and low 70s with crisp evenings. The pool is heated to 88 degrees in winter, the spa runs at 104, and the fire pits earn their keep after dark.
Can we mix golf into an auction-week stay?
Easily. The property has its own Celebrity Greens practice complex with 4 greens, 6 tee boxes, and 2 bunkers plus a Full Swing simulator, and Troon North is 5 minutes away, Grayhawk 10, and TPC Scottsdale 20 for full rounds between auction sessions.
