ENHANCE YOUR BARRETT-JACKSON EXPERIENCE: Explore the lifestyle Scottsdale has to offer
December 20, 2016
Posted by Barrett-Jackson
The Scottsdale lifestyle often includes a round of golf at one of the area’s premier courses, like TPC Scottsdale.
There’s a reason Barrett-Jackson has become known as a world-class automotive lifestyle event – not just a collector car auction. Beyond the realm of the auction block, there are a myriad of things to do in and around the event to enhance everything Barrett-Jackson has to offer.
The inviting patio at Toro Latin Restaurant.
On the auction site at WestWorld, guests can take a break from the auction arena and shop to their heart’s content at the vast Exhibitor Marketplace or go on exciting Ride ’N Drives and Thrill Rides in the latest vehicles from Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge. And just down the road from the auction is Barrett-Jackson’s host hotel – the world-class Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.
The AAA Five Diamond resort is home to four top-ranked Arizona restaurants, innovative spa and fitness programs at Well & Being Spa, six sparkling pools (including the all-new Sunset Beach) and two newly renovated 18-hole championship golf courses ‒ one of which is home to the Annual PGA Tour Waste Management Phoenix Open.
For those looking to relax and invigorate, a must is a visit to the Well & Being Spa, where you can enjoy an unforgettable treat for two with a couples’ suite massage, take an aerial hammock yoga class, or create your own customized essential oils, scrub or lotion at the Aromatherapy Blending Bar by Body Bliss – a product line from Sedona, Arizona.

If you like to golf, look no further. Play where the pros play – and will be playing just days after the Barrett-Jackson auction – at TPC Scottsdale, located adjacent to the Princess. Choose from either the Stadium Course (where the Waste Management Phoenix Open will be held, February 2-5, 2017) or the Champions Course – both 18-hole, par 71 courses offer incredible golfing experiences set in the rugged Sonoran Desert and surrounded by the stunning McDowell Mountains.
For the ultimate in wining and dining choices, there is much to choose from at the Princess. Acclaimed Chef Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak represents the height of Scottsdale dining through contemporary American fare, with a focus on all natural, organic and hormone-free cuts of beef, poached and finished over the wood-burning grill.
“Snake Bite Flight” of tequila at La Hacienda by Richard Sandoval.
Fresh, modern Mexican cuisine can be sampled at La Hacienda by Richard Sandoval – including an unmatched tequila bar, where you can sample the “Snake Bite Flight” of tequila or learn from the vast experience of Tequila Goddess Katie Schnurr, who creates special activities and events to enhance La Hacienda’s dinner offerings, including tequila tastings, Mixology classes and Tequila 101.
If rum is more your style, turn to Toro Latin Restaurant & Rum Bar by Richard Sandoval, with a patio featuring breathtaking views of the McDowell Mountain range overlooking the TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course’s 18th hole (a great place to watch the sun set). The unique Pan Latin menu here draws on the cultures of South and Central America while using ingredients from Japanese and Chinese cuisine – and you’d be missing out if you didn’t take in a sampling of the more than 150 rums on offer.
So if any of your party needs a change of pace from the fast-paced excitement of the auction, look no further than just down the road, at the incomparable Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Tell them Barrett-Jackson sent you.
