Stuck for Father’s Day gifts for a dad who likes to think of himself as a bit more intellek-shall than one who might want to receive a six pack or the latest Meat Loaf album?

May we suggest a ”traditional grooming experience” courtesy of the St James’s Hotel & Club? Book him a room (lucky mum will like you for that too) in June, July or August, and the hotel will throw in a free treatment at Truefitt & Hill, a 200-year-old barber shop just round the corner from the hotel where the royals like to go. There, they’ll have a ”traditional hot towel wet shave, haircut, shampoo and manicure”. So mother will like you even more.

The package costs £290 for the two of them. Pricey, yes; but he’ll also get to pretend he’s Samuel L Jackson. And that’s priceless.

Call us shallow, but we love staying in hotels where celebs have stayed, and we'd be even more excited if we were staying in one at the same time as a VIP. Imagine looking at Dita Von Teese over the brekkie table! That would rein in our buffet overindulgence if nothing else.

And although we wouldn’t advocate stalking or anything, there is one seriously cool celeb you could share the lift with if you book into the St. James's Hotel & Club in London during the second week of June. In fact, there's more than one, because said celeb, Samuel L Jackson, is proving said seriously cool credentials by booking up half the hotel for his mates — including Don Cheadle, Alice Cooper, Don Johnson, Natalie Cole, and the luscious Luke Wilson.
