| | 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。 |

1 hr confidence: 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。
