Riverside-San Bernardino
Hospitality Market Report

Metro ranks among revenue growth leaders, led by full-service gains. Bookings-related revenue in Riverside-San Bernardino rose more than 25 percent from 2019 to 2024, even when accounting for a 4 percent drop last year. That ranked as the largest increase in California and the twelfth strongest among major U.S. hotel markets. Fueling the market’s performance was the full-service segment, where ADR is expected to end 2025 nearly 45 percent above the 2019 measure. While revenue growth is expected to accelerate this year, marketwide occupancy is poised to ease for a third straight year in 2025. Room demand will exceed 2019 levels for the fourth consecutive year; however, it will stay below the highs experienced in 2022, when the metro’s open spaces and national parks drew a surge of domestic travelers. Now, tourism is moving abroad or shifting to denser, more experience-rich markets. Business travel supported by the Inland Empire’s logistics infrastructure will not fully offset the decline. At more than double the 2014-2019 average, new supply is historically elevated in 2025, reinforcing the market’s overall softening.
