yes
The likely cause of the landslide was a combination of: rainfall of 140 mm in the two months before the slide took place; issues related to the drainage of the slope; pour water pressure build up in the slope and the geology.
No one died or was even hurt in the collapse of the Holbeck Hall Hotel.
no way
tectonic movements coupled with a slope greater than the angle of inclination can cause a landslide

There were 80 people inside when the land slide began.
The Holbeck Hall was built in 1880 as a private residence. I can find no information as to when it was opened as a Hotel. It slipped into the sea in a landslide in 1993.See the Related Link below.

If you want to know what caused the Holbeck Hall to collapse it was a landslide caused by the heat cracking the clay, which was what the cliff was made of, and then the rainwater going in to the cracks and when the rainwater froze and then melted it caused the cracks to expand. The sea was also eroding the bottom of the cliff! I hope this helps!
