********historic icons, elegant resorts and modern city-centre hotels, across four continents - deliver the best a destination has to offer.

historic icons是什么意思,历史性的景点??
Jiang Xia
China
历史古迹
Explanation:
这里个人理解是这样的, historic icons, elegant resorts (历史古迹环境中的优雅度假村) 是和 modern city-centre hotels (现代的城市中心的酒店) 对应的两种住宿选择, 少一点上文来帮助理解, 但是都不会是‘图标’, 这里不是在说图标的事。雕像/塑像/画像/圣像。。。也和这里说的没有太大关系,historic icon, 这里的'icon' 是 'iconic', 说resort的话,指大环境的可能性大一点。

Explanation:
我觉得这里的意思是突出酒店的悠久历史吧,所以翻译成"历史性图标/经典图标",供参考。

历史性雕像/塑像/画像/圣像


Explanation:
Icon is also used, particularly in modern culture, in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.

我觉得这里可以进一步根据上下文处理一下,看景点中具体包括的是雕像还是画像之类,再做判断。
