Father's Day Gift Guide 2025: The Best Luxury Hotel Gifts
These salmon flies are hand-tied in Scotland and sold by the Fife Arms. Luxury hotels are used to catering for - and enchanting - a clientele who are used to having the best of everything. Their superb curation of experiences also extends to their boutiques. Here are some of the best gifts to treat the father in your life. This Edinburgh hotel has opened a shop that shares its Victorian aesthetic. Edinburgh's most experiential hotel - The Witchery- has linked up with the city's most famous leather goods specialist MacKenzie. Inspired by the hotel's exuberant Victoriana, the Gladstone Overnight Travel Bag (£1595) combines leather and brass fittings with the finest Scottish, fully waterproofed canvas. Designed for weekend breaks, the large main compartment has a pocket suitable for a small laptop or a wash bag. The base is reinforced, and solid brass feet keep it off the ground, ensuring your bag is fit to take you on a lifetime of adventures. Bamford London has produced a new watch for the Hotel du-Cap-Eden-Roc on France's Cote d'Azur. Just in time for Father's Day, Hotel du-Cap-Eden-Roc has launched the Bamford Riviera Watch – a limited-edition collaboration between the iconic hotel in Antibes and the luxury watch company Bamford London. This sleek timepiece comes in three Mediterranean-inspired hues: Sea Blue, Sky Blue, or White. With its stainless-steel casing, self-winding movement, waterproof design, and the iconic Eden-Roc lifebuoy detailing the second hand. The Claridge's Cocktail Gift Set will help your father get a taste for Fumoir, Claridge's famous bar. Revisit - or anticipate - a trip to Fumoir, Claridge's justly venerated cocktail bar with this Claridge's Cocktail Gift Set (£175.00). A deeply delicious dive into the hotel's Jazz Age (see also the hotel's Bright Young Things Sleepover package). The set comes with two ready-mixed bottles of Fumoir's Old Fashioned and Negroni. The gift also contains a copy of Claridge's The Cocktail Book, plus olives and mixed nuts, wrapped up in a gift box with ribbons and a fully authentic sense of indulgence. Taurus is the new blended whisky from the Torridon hotel in Scotland. One of Scotland's best-kept hotel secrets, the family-run Torridon hotel in Wester Ross has just launched the limited edition Taurus Whisky (£125). Blending a two-grain whisky with a single malt, with hints of aged apple, stone fruits and vanilla, Taurus Whisky is a labour of love born from The Torridon's owner, Dan Bristow and his best friend Hamish, who hails from a distinguished distilling family. Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland Since it opened a century ago, Scotland's most famous hotel has been known as the Glorious Playground. With the opening of the Gleneagles Sporting Club, there's even more reason to love Gleneagles. Produced in Scotland with 100% Lambswool Shetland Cloth and inspired by the surrounding Ochil Hills, the Tweed Flat Cap (£130) comes in three sizes and is tailor-made for strolls across the countryside. The Newt has a new collaboration with the cult Niwaki producer of garden implements. In a particularly apt cross-pollination, Somerset's acclaimed Newt hotel and gardens in Somerset has joined forces with the cult Niwaki garden tool company. A blend of horticultural expertise with Japanese craftsmanship, the range includes the Niwake Samue jacket in Newt green and the Hori Hori tool (£38), a gardening tool for digging, weeding, and planting bulbs, engraved with The Newt's logo and accompanied by a custom canvas sheath. The Fife Arms in Braemar has showcased Scottish crafts since opening in 2018. Yes, Scotland is strongly featured on this list, but its craft traditions are currently in a very sweet spot that utilises both heritage skills and innovation. The Fife Arms has been instrumental in championing these. Based on the River Dee, TwinPeakes is dedicated to the art of fly fishing and has created a collection of bespoke salmon flies most suited to Highland fishing spots. The Fife Arms Salmon Fishing Tin (£145) has nine flies that are each individually hand-tied in Scotland using a palette of the Fife Arms colours. For different conditions in the season, the flies are presented in an engraved aluminium fly tin made by renowned fly tin maker Richard Wheatley Ltd and lined with sustainable British wool. These cricket socks epitomise Estelle Manor's playful approach to its boutique's offering There's nothing wrong with socks as a Father's Day gift, especially if they come from Estelle Manor, the ultra-hip Oxfordshire members' club and hotel. These nicely retro Estelle Manor cricket socks (£20) will multitask for other sports too and have plum detailing. The Hoxton has collaborated with Barc London to produce matching sweaters for dogs and their humans. For all the dog dads out there, the Hoxton Hotel group has collaborated with Barc London to produce a collection of matching knits. With two patterns - Out of Office and Holiday Club - using the colour palette of the global Hoxton group, each jumper helps support local dog shelters with a 10 per cent donation from the profits. Made from 100 per cent cotton, human ($60) and canine versions ($40) come in XS to XL versions.

Kate finished off the photo shoot at a house in West London. One of the stunner's latest outing saw her cut a casual figure in a blazer and jeans but she swapped her usual accessories for a cigarette and a Corona. She appeared relaxed during her stroll through central London as she made her way to visit a pal. Although there's no suggestion Kate was drinking the beer, the sight of her with the alcoholic beverage will no doubt raise eyebrows among fans after the former party girl went sober in 2018. Back in March, Kate was captured on video while posing for pictures in the front row of the Isabel Marant fall 2025 ready-to-wear showcase in the French capital. With her hands in the pockets of her black leather jacket, Kate crossed her legs and jerked from side to side while talking to a man next to her. She was then seen turning around to chat to a woman sat behind her. But when Kate realised the camera was on her, she turned to the front and began frantically posing. The clip quickly went viral on social media, with fans expressing their concerns.

Harvey Weinstein accuser denies suing for money in retrial
Seeking to support Haley strongly rejected the attorney's suggestion as she was cross-examined in a Manhattan courtroom yesterday, saying that she had only spoken out to support and encourage other women who alleged Weinstein attacked them. 'You didn't mention a meeting at Claridge's in London... You didn't mention friendly emails... you told the press only part of the story,' Weinstein's lawyer Jennifer Bonjean said of Haley's media appearances denouncing her client's behaviour. 'I told the part that was relevant to what I was trying to share,' said Haley. Weinstein's 2020 convictions on charges relating to Haley and aspiring actress Jessica Mann were overturned last year by the New York Court of Appeals, which ruled that the way witnesses were handled in the original trial was unlawful. Back in a Manhattan courtroom, Haley has this week tearfully recalled the day in July 2006 when she says she accepted an invitation to visit Weinstein's Soho apartment, where the alleged assault happened. At the time, she was a showbiz production assistant looking for work. 'I had [a] press conference to share what happened to me in support of the other women,' Haley said as Weinstein watched on. Compensation denial Haley denied that she went to the prosecutor, the Manhattan District Attorney (DA), only after she realised she could not sue Weinstein because of the statute of limitations. 'At no point in that time did I think... there would be an option to get monetary compensation,' she said during the sometimes-heated exchanges with Weinstein's lawyer. The lawyer alleged that the only way Haley could bring a lawsuit was if prosecutors brought charges. 'I didn't know that,' Haley said. 'Your interest in coming forward to the DA's office only happened after you learned that you could sue him if they brought criminal charges,' Bonjean repeated. The former Miramax studio boss is charged in the New York retrial with the 2006 sexual assault of Haley and the 2013 rape of Mann. He also faces a new count for an alleged sexual assault of a 19-year-old in 2006. Weinstein – the producer of a string of box office hits such as Pulp Fiction and Shakespeare in Love – has never acknowledged any wrongdoing. He is serving a 16-year prison sentence after being convicted in California of raping and assaulting a European actress more than a decade ago.

The Love Island alum showcased the nude-coloured sitting room with cosy sofa in an image posted to her Instagram Stories, before she gushed: "This room is so dreamy and calming." After showcasing the view from the terrace, which had space for two chairs and views across London, she said: "I love u LDN." Molly-Mae, who recently told how she is no longer hiding her reunion with fiance Tommy Fury, 25, after their shock split last year, then headed to the hotel spa with BFF Tayla Blue. Later in the evening, the Maebe business owner posted a snapshot showing the pair dancing on Bond Street. They then returned to the stunning suite which comes complete with a 24-hour butler, a clothes pressing service and a complimentary bottle of champagne on arrival. It came just months after she hunkered down in the Corinthia London in the capital ahead of her Maebe pop-up in January. The reality star was staying in the Writer's Penthouse in the luxurious hotel.

The former Love Island stars split up last summer due to Tommy's "problem with drinking". She said of the couple - who did not publicly state they were travelling together but who were seen at the airport: "We're just figuring things out." Continuing, Molly-Mae shared: "We had a really really amazing time, probably the best holiday ever for all of us. "It's not that I'm hiding it, I'm not quite ready to talk about it. She added: "It's also private, but also it's not really private. "When you have a relationship in the public eye, trying to rebuild that relationship or work on that relationship or see if you have something worth saving... "You can't figure things out the way a normal relationship would. "You can't do the normal things a coupe trying to work on their relationship normally do." After sharing a New Year's Eve kiss, the pair then headed off on a loved-up trip for Valentine's Day in February, prior to their Dubai getaway. It was revealed earlier this week that the pair are considering moving back in together after Molly-Mae told how she was spending more time at Tommy's new pad.

In her latest YouTube vlog she told the camera: 'I'm not even a proper crier, that's a lie, I actually am a crier. 'I feel like in the next three episodes of Behind It All I cry quite a bit.' After Molly made the confession she began to doubt herself, adding: 'Do I? Have I just made that up? I don't know.'
