Robert DeNiro testifies in dispute over his new New York City hotel








NEW YORK - Robert DeNiro says his new hotel in downtown Manhattan was a "labour of love."

But the penthouse level of the hotel next door to DeNiro's Tribeca Film Center is different from the design that was approved by city officials four years ago.

DeNiro and his partners testified about the project Tuesday at a hearing of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The commission could force them to tear down the penthouse to conform with the design that had been approved.
