Fireside Inn Ocean's Edge

Seaside Comfort Meets Concert Convenience in Belfast

Modern coastal charm defines the Fireside Inn Ocean's Edge, located in scenic Belfast, Maine. Every room faces Penobscot Bay, making it a serene retreat after a night out. Nestled halfway between Camden and Bar Harbor, this hotel offers easy access to some of Midcoast Maine’s most iconic towns and venues. With a welcoming lobby fireplace, a large sundeck overlooking the water, and relaxing amenities like an indoor heated pool, sauna, and hot tub, it’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to unwind.

Why Concert-goers love it

While not in the heart of a city, the Fireside Inn is a great option for shows in the Midcoast region, like those in nearby Camden or Bangor. After the music fades, you’ll appreciate the peaceful, oceanfront setting—ideal for winding down. The hotel’s free parking and proximity to major routes make late-night returns easy, and the quiet location means restful post-show sleep. Though check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the relaxed vibe of the hotel makes transitions smooth.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Budget-conscious music lovers who want good value in a beautiful setting

Food and Drink Options

The immediate area offers a variety of restaurants and cocktail lounges just a short drive away.

Breakfast options are available in the area for those who sleep in after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’ll find local bars and lounges in downtown Belfast and nearby towns. It’s a quieter base, but just close enough to experience Maine’s small-town charm and music scene without the crowds.
