The Hospitality Lane District is a central business district in San Bernardino, California, located 2–3 miles (3-5 km) southeast of the city's downtown area along the street of the same name.[1] It is adjacent to Interstate 10, and is only a few miles away from San Bernardino International Airport. The district is home to the headquarters for the San Bernardino Community College District.[2] The district primarily includes retail establishments, dining, and many of the city's hotels; it has been described as a "center of shopping and restaurant activity" in the San Bernardino Valley with some of the Inland Empire's "finest hotels, restaurants and office buildings".[3][4] In addition, the area has attracted office development.[5][6] Hospitality Lane is one of the most prosperous and developed areas in San Bernardino, a city which is otherwise economically troubled.[7] However, the district has experienced increased crime as a result of its development, particularly due to its nightclubs.[8] The district was built in a depressed area of San Bernardino after the city's Redevelopment Agency cleared the land and sold it to developers.[7] In 2006, the last vacant property in Hospitality Lane was sold; at the time, the district had 16 restaurants.[9] In 2011, the city proposed a center-lane exclusive high-speed bus line known as sbX in the Hospitality Lane area and is under construction as of 2013 with an expected launch date of January 2014.[10] In 2008, the district experienced a small downturn as several businesses in the area closed; local economists stated that the downturn may have been caused by the economic recession.[11]
