Déjate ver
Spanish to English
Marketing
Business/Commerce (general)
In need of some late-night inspiration. I have a Powerpoint presentation with one part entitled "Déjate ver". There are then the following sub-headings:
¡Déjate ver en nuestros hoteles con encanto!
¡Déjate ver de compras por Barcelona!
¡Déjate ver jugando al golf!
¡Déjate ver en uno de los mayores espectáculos deportivos del mundo!
I can't find a good idea with "let yourself". I was thinking of "treat yourself", though it's maybe a bit far from the original. What do you think? Do you have any better ideas?

It's boringly literal but for a Powerpoint presentation it has the advantage of being low-key and concise; and the picture on the screen is the thousand words....

See yourself
The most literal translation would be "Let yourself be seen", but if you can take the liberty to change it a bit and make it catchy, you could use:
"See yourself in our hotles"
"See yourself playing golf..."
ETC.
"See yourself in our hotles"
"See yourself playing golf..."
ETC.

Let us see you
Pienso que una traducción pensando que es un verbo reflexivo puede no ser del todo correcta.
La expresión "dejate ver" no implica el uso de "yourself"
Es simplemente mostrarse, aparecerse, dejar que alguien lo vea.
Ejemplo en lenguaje coloquial.
Dejate ver mañana. Es algo así como muéstrate, permite que te veamos, ven por acá.
Let us see you around our hotels with charming.. etc, etc

Roger Parks
: This is indeed more literal, but this is *advertising*. A *cultural equivalent* is called for here, and in English "Picture yourself" is perfect.

come and play golf
come to one of the best sports events

Experience (for yourself)/Enjoy
Could this work?
Experience our charming hotels...
Enjoy our charming hotels...
Since this is marketing, they want you to be so intrigued by the presentation that you'll want to go to Barcelona and enjoy all it has to offer.
