The Red Victorian is a historic hotel located in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, two blocks from Golden Gate Park and well served by public transit.

The Red Victorian is a Bed and Breakfast/community space constructed in 1904 in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury District. The building has seen many names and eras - it was originally named the Jefferson Hotel, which is rumored to have been a brothel. In 1967, it became the Jeffrey Haight during the Summer of Love. In 1977, Sami Sunchild, environmental artist and social activist, acquired the building, painted the Victorian facade red and named it the "Red Victorian". She intended the business to embody the ideas of the area, including the peace movement, the environmental movement, the cooperative community movement, and the social justice movement. Until her death in 2013, Sunchild hosted World Peace Conversations every Sunday morning. Of the conversations, she said, "As part of a movement to restore the lost art of conversation, Peaceful World Conversations bring people together to talk about topics that matter in their own lives and in the world as a whole.". Sunchild's hotel was also known for the themed, unique guest room designs such as the "Summer of Love" room, the "Flower Children" room, and the "Peacock" room with eclectic, themed decor.

In 2014, Jessy Kate Schingler established the Red Victorian, LLC and took over management of the Red Victorian from Sunchild's non-profit and beneficiary of the hotel. The mission of the new Red Victorian is to experiment with co-living and new methods of urban community development and residential models. The Red Victorian is part of the Embassy Network, an organization that provides resources and networking to a variety of shared living spaces.
