English term or phrase: symbolic nod
As Otto Gerdau & Co. expanded under the leadership of Allan Gerdau, it started a natural pearl farm in Australia in order to export perfect pearls. A few years after Gerdau died, the company’s greatest Australian pearling rival, the Paspaley family, acquired his estate in 1989, including the Tontine Building. Thirty-two years later, they opened the building as their very first hotel.

“The {symbolic nod} to our pearling heritage was obvious, but also allowed us to share with our guests the rich fabric of our hotel’s history,” Hanigan said. “There are heritage images in the hallways of the floors, old and new, and several images from family albums. Guests can even enjoy a Pearl Martini in Lounge on Pearl.”

这建筑物(the Tontine Building) 很明显是我们养珠业传统的一个标志，但也让我们能够与客人分享我们酒店丰富的历史。

不清楚 nod 是什麽意思，但 symbolic 很可能是 “标志性的”。
