i think it's 1680 as several hotels date back to then and none before but I can't be certain they were called hotel at that time
see this -

1644, "public official residence," from Fr. h�tel, from O.Fr. hostel "a lodging," from M.L. hospitale "inn" (see hostel). Modern sense of "an inn of the better sort" is first recorded 1765. Hotelier is a 1905 borrowing of Fr. h�telier "hotelkeeper."

The clue refers to �Grand Hotels�------ answer may be 1765
