THE HOTEL HERSHEY
Restaurants at The Hotel Hershey are in the process of rolling out their fall menus, which means some new seasonal sweets, courtesy of the Hotel's amazing pastry team, are now available for you to enjoy on National Dessert Day!

At Trevi 5, a modern Italian restaurant, you'll find a contemporary twist on Italian desserts, including Cannoli Cheesecake, Panettone Bread Pudding Tart, Three Nut Raspberry Torte and Buckwheat Apple Cake.
Sweet treats can also be found at Chef's Market (open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.) And if you like your sweets with a bite, try one of our Signature Hershey's Martinis at Iberian Lounge.
Plus, stay tuned for Harvest's new fall menu coming soon.
