Evening Social Hour independent inns

Named for the stone turret that anchors its Victorian frame, this Belfast B&B sits a few blocks off the coastal Maine town's harbor on quiet Pearl Street. Inside, elegantly appointed rooms give way to a gourmet breakfast each morning and an evening social hour — the kind of rhythm that turns guests into regulars, judging by a near-perfect 4.9 rating across 81 reviews. It's a small, distinctly period place rather than a polished modern hotel.
