Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Lodging for Groups
Heading to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale? The Scottsdale auction typically takes place in late January. The Sunkiss is a private home in Scottsdale, Arizona that sleeps up to 16 in four king bedrooms plus a bunk room, with a private pool, hot tub and pickleball court for the hours away from the auction floor.
Always confirm the official Barrett-Jackson 2027 dates, schedule and tickets at barrett-jackson.com. This page is about where to stay; The Sunkiss is not affiliated with the auction.
Why a whole house works for auction week
Barrett-Jackson week brings collectors, bidders, dealers, car clubs and families to Scottsdale. Groups often travel together and keep different schedules: some watch every lot, others come for one day. A private home lets everyone keep their own rhythm while staying in one place.
Four king bedrooms suit couples and business partners, the bunk room takes extra guests, and there is private driveway parking at the house.
Barrett-Jackson 2027 lodging: book early
Late January is one of Scottsdale's busiest periods, and lodging demand usually rises around major events. Once the official dates are published, check our live calendar to see if your dates are open.
We never publish availability or prices on this site; the official booking calendar shows live dates and the full total before you pay.
Unwinding after a long day at the auction
After hours on your feet, the backyard is the reset: a private hot tub included at no extra cost, a fire pit, a covered patio and a putting green.
The private pool is not automatically heated. Optional pool heat is $100 per night, recommended October through May, requires at least 3 days' notice before arrival and must be purchased for the entire stay. The hot tub is included at no extra cost.
Hosting your crew at home
A chef's kitchen with a large island and a dining room for the group make it easy to talk through the day's lots over dinner. The game room with a pool table and foosball and the private sport court keep everyone else entertained.
The Sunkiss is residential lodging, not an event venue. Visitor and gathering rules on the Plan page apply to every stay.
Who stays at The Sunkiss during auction week
Groups that suit the house include car clubs travelling together, families attending as spectators, and bidders or consignors who want a quiet, private place to regroup each evening. Four king bedrooms keep couples comfortable, and the bunk room gives flexibility for extra guests.
Because the house is booked as a whole, you control who stays and how the space is used, within the house rules.
Getting the most out of a January stay
Pack layers: January days in Scottsdale are often mild and sunny, while mornings and evenings can be cool. Plan auction days around the official schedule, and leave a free afternoon for the pool or a round of golf.
If swimming matters to your group, request pool heat at least 3 days before arrival. The hot tub is included and ready for cool January evenings.
Planning meals and downtime
Long auction days make breakfasts and late dinners at home appealing. Stock the chef's kitchen on arrival, and use the grill and dining room for the group. On a free afternoon, the putting green, pickleball court and pool give everyone a break from the auction floor before another day of bidding and browsing.
Travelling with a car club or family group
Car clubs and multi-generation families often book a whole home so everyone can compare notes on the day's lots over breakfast. Assign the king bedrooms first, use the bunk room for flexible sleeping, and keep a shared plan of which auction days each person will attend. Confirm your final guest count, up to 16, on the booking calendar.
