The lease was granted in 1954, so unless the Grosvenor Estate team included some particularly gifted clairvoyants it's unlikely the lease made any provision for the conversion into a hotel in 2017. A licence for alterations might impose those conditions, but equally those conditions could be imposed by a consent to works granted under a restrictive covenant. Without knowing the terms of the lease, it's all speculation.
