Where: 1047 5th Ave. [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92101

Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz, his wifey, Melrose Place startlet Ashlee Simpson, and their son Bronx Mowgli checked into the Se San Diego last week.

According to People magazine, the couple rented two condos in the hotel. The condos come with perks like retractable glass walls—to give your room that alfresco feeling—and since the condos are on the upper floors of the 23-story-tall building, they have sweet views of the city. Plus, the condos have chic touches like Nepali carpets, Italian built-in kitchens and islands complete with appliances, and bathrooms with televisions built into the mirrors and steam showers.

Pete and Ashlee Choose Hotel Bel-Air for Baby Wentz's Shower

Where: 701 Stone Canyon Road [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90077

We've given the Hotel Bel-Air a hard time in the past. Travel + Leisure named it the number one hotel in L.A. this summer, and we spent a little bit of time wondering if the property was worthy of such a title.

But nevermind what kind of recognition we think the hotel deserves: a very preggers Ashlee Simpson deemed it worthy of hosting her baby shower.

On Saturday, Ashlee's mom and famous sister threw her a co-ed baby shower in the hotel's Palm Room (above) with 40 guests and some crabcakes. Star Mag had the scoop:

"The room was decorated with yellow and orange roses, and guests were given jars of honey with custom-made labels that said 'Baby Wentz' and 'Thank You For Celebrating My Life' on them," says a party guest. "The girls were also given bracelets that had a big bumble bee on them.

Frankly, we were a little bit surprised that the fam selected the classic Bel-Air for the soiree rather than one of L.A.'s trendier, more modern hotspots -- especially given the faux-hipster-ish look of the young couple. Perhaps this means the choice to go with the classic, older-glam hotel is an indication that Ashlee and Pete are growing up a little bit ... or maybe they just didn't want the usual paparazzi to be all over them.
