DeNiro, Estefan open lodgings

A new hotel in New York and a new resort in Florida have big celebrity names behind them.

In the Tribeca section of Manhattan, the Greenwich Hotel - owned by actor-director Robert DeNiro and three partners - opened April 1 at 377 Greenwich St. The eight-story luxury hotel has 88 rooms, with no two alike; 13 suites; a spa, restaurant and 2,500-square-foot penthouse. DeNiro is also part owner of the Japanese restaurant Nobu.

Singer Gloria Estefan is opening the Costa d'Este Beach Resort in June in Vero Beach, Fla., located a little over an hour north of Palm Beach on Florida's east coast. The oceanside resort has 94 rooms, spa and restaurant. Estefan and her husband Emilio own four other restaurants, including Larios and Oriente in South Beach, and the Cardozo Hotel in Miami Beach.
