Red Victorian Peace Center and Bed & Breakfast
The Red Victorian is a historic hotel and bed & breakfast located in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, two blocks from Golden Gate Park and well served by public transit.
The hotel was constructed in 1904 as the Jefferson Hotel. In 1967 during the Summer of Love it was called the Jeffrey-Haight. In 1977, Dr. Sami Sunchild, environmental artist and social activist, acquired the building, painted the Victorian facade red plus 9 other trim colors, and named it the "Red Victorian". She created a business founded on love and honoring the best of the ideals that were birthed on that street and in that building, namely the peace movement, the environmental (or "green") movement, the cooperative community movement, and the social justice movement.
"The Red Vic" has been decorated and restored celebrating these themes; each of the 18 guest rooms has a unique design. The building also houses Peaceful World Travel, the Peace Center, Peace Arts Gallery and Gift Shop and Red Vic Peace Cafe.
