When the food matters as much as the rooms, check our list of hot hotels, writes Ute Junker.
More than a century ago, Cesar Ritz and Auguste Escoffier made it clear: a great hotel needs a great restaurant.
Over the years, however, the definition of hotel dining has expanded. For every formal dining room, there's now a breezy meal on the terrace, or even a snack of crispy fried insects.
So what makes a hotel restaurant great?
More than just sublime food, it should offer a sense of place, plus an X-factor that sets it apart.
Here is a selection of places where dinner is a destination.
New York
Cool and class collide at this hip eatery, which has been virtually booked out since it opened last year. Each of the restaurant's separate spaces has its own vibe, from the buzzy Atrium to the cosily opulent Parlour and the romantic Fireplace.
The menu has the finesse you'd expect of chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara, the team behind the revered Le Bernardin restaurant.
There's enough foie gras and truffles to suit the expense-account diner, while more inventive vegetable-based dishes showcase Humm's modern approach.
For a perfect night out, grab a seat in the Parlour (mood lighting that still lets you read the menu - respect!) and start with a salad of fresh, sweet young brussel sprouts done three ways - steamed, shredded and fried leaves -with accents of hazelnuts, apple and lemon.
That should leave enough room for the show-stopper roast chicken for two, done with foie gras, black truffle and brioche: worth every cent of the $79 price tag.

Few things are what they seem at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, the celebrity chef's outlet in London's Mandarin-Oriental Hotel.
Those light fittings? They are actually jelly moulds. That mandarin?It's made of foie gras.
This a wonderland of a restaurant, with an inventive menu and superb service.
From the warm welcome when you arrive, to the meal's grand finale, ice-cream made at your table, the experience is seamless.
More than any other hotel group, Mandarin-Oriental has perfected the art of destination dining. With Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, they have trumped themselves.
See mandarinoriental.com/london.
Wanaka, New Zealand
It's a rare hotel where you feel comfortable popping into the kitchen in the morning to ask for a coffee, but then, staying at Whare Kea Lodge feels more like staying with super-wealthy friends.
Which is what you are doing, sort of: the six-bedroom lodge was once the Myer family holiday home and has retained that laidback vibe. Meals are served at a communal table and feature whatever chef James Stapley feels like serving up. That could include delicious Bluff oysters, a salad of West Coast crayfish and homegrown heirloom tomatoes, wild Fiordland venison, or the bite-size beignets. Best of all, Stapley likes to please: following our raptures over the beignets served for dessert, he whips us up another batch the next morning.
See wharekealodge.com.
Some chefs think they know everything. Rachid Agouray is not one of them. When he was asked to add a contemporary twist to the classic Moroccan dishes for which La Mamounia's Le Marocain restaurant was famous, he turned to the experts: local women. It's the women who keep Morocco's culinary traditions and his team of specially recruited females has created some of Morocco's most interesting cuisine.
Whether it's a phyllo cigar stuffed with chicken or a reinvented pastilla, the traditional pigeon replaced with lobster and salmon, the dishes are a delight.
Throw in a torch-lit terrace, carved cedar screens, tinkling fountains and the scent of jasmine - and it's an Arabian night.
See mamounia.com.
Yunnan, China
You don't have to eat the bamboo worms if you don't want to, but you'll be missing out if you don't.
Bamboo worms don't feature on most Chinese menus but Xishuangbanna is a very particular pocket of China. It's the Chinese equivalent of the wild west, closer to Thailand than to cities such as Shanghai and Bangkok, and known for its vast rainforests, wild elephants and majestic centuries-old tea trees.
Top marks to the hotel for showcasing the cuisine of the local Dai tribespeople, full of fresh herbs and indigenous specialties such as ganba (air-dried beef), river snails, river weed, and rice dishes cooked in bamboo.
And the bamboo worms? The local equivalent of crisps, flash fried and perfect for munching on as you pull on a beer. Ganbei!
See xishuangbanna.anantara.com.
Here are some reasons why we love La Cuisine, one of two Michelin-starred restaurants in this Parisian pleasure palace.
There's the decor: a funky updating of the traditional grand restaurant that is not in the slightest stuffy. There's the attentive service, in which no detail is neglected: order steak, and you will be invited to choose from a selection of nine knives, each with its own history.
There's the menu, which offers both traditional and innovative approaches. Atlantic cod, for instance, comes as both a traditional confit option, or an Asian-influenced version with braised black rice, honey, ginger and lemon.
Just be sure not to peak too early: once the cheese sommelier has had his way, you'll still need room for the made-to-order Pierre Herme millefeuilles combinations such as fig and foie gras.
Black Forest, Germany
How did a small spa village in the Black Forest, home to just 8000 people, come to score eight Michelin stars?
Largely through the rivalry between the town's two largest hotels, Hotel Traube Tonbach and Hotel Bareiss.
Both hotels invested heavily in their restaurants and both can boast three-Michelin-star restaurants but only the Traube Tonbach has chef Harald Wohlfahrt. Wohlfahrt is culinary royalty. Not only has he held three stars for more than 20 years, he also trained most of Germany's other three-star chefs himself.
All that and he still finds ways to weave new flavours and textures into his dishes, such as a delicate char served with kataifi and a salad of carrot, coriander, ras al hanut and caraway seeds.
With food this good, it's hard to restrain yourself - but you can always burn it off afterwards with a walk in the Black Forest.
See traube-tonbach.de.
Patagonia, Argentina
If you appreciate the perfection of an exquisitely decorated petit four, or a single scallop perched carefully on a porcelain spoon, you're going to love Las Balsas, a small but perfectly formed hotel with an equally enchanting restaurant.
The setting alone is enough to conjure superlatives - a shoreside location on Lake Nahuel Huapi, the prettiest mountain-fringed lake in northern Patagonia - but Lucas Dabrowski's way with local ingredients is just as impressive.
A crab strudel with squid ink and apple is wonderfully light, with a perfect blend of flavours; but Dabrowski's real genius lies in reinventing favourites such as roast chicken, here served with sun-dried tomato, black olives, toasted almonds and potato and cheese fondue.
Throw in an impressive wine cellar showcasing Argentina's extraordinary wines, and you have a real little gem.
See relaischateaux.com/lasbalsas.
Sometimes, dinner at the hotel restaurant is the easy option.
When you're too tired and hungry to go elsewhere, you end up sitting in a corner table, reading your book or your iPad while you eat. At Tokyo's Mandarin-Oriental hotel, they have an antidote for this kind of meal: the Tapas Molecular Bar.
Two chefs, two nightly sittings, eight diners, 16 courses, plenty of molecular flimflammery, including dragon imitations using liquid nitrogen: it's a night out that turns strangers into participants in a culinary adventure.
The food is exquisite, each themed plate showcasing a different set of ingredients.
The pretty Underwater Forest, for instance, highlights delicately briny flavours such as Okinawa seaweed, kombu seaweed broth and sea urchin.
See mandarinoriental.com/Tokyo.
The UK has no end of country houses with fine food, but few do it as well as Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons.
The Fasano family understand food - and branding. Before they opened the Hotel Fasano in Sao Paulo, they ran the city's biggest restaurant empire. Naturally their hotel restaurant - again called Fasano - is one of the best in town.
Basque chef Martin Berasategui has brought his creative cuisine to Barcelona's Condes de Barcelona hotel, highlighting quality ingredients such as smoked eel and woodpigeon.
Some might call this cheating - Michel Bras' eponymous triple Michelin star restaurant came first, the attached rooms followed. But we love the place so much we're including it anyway.
There's plenty of southern comfort on offer at Tennessee's Blackberry Farm but the real reason people flock here is dinner in the atmospheric barn.

BIO-UV went beyond the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for Ballast Water Treatment (BWTS).
Indeed both requirements were met: the land tests where various and numerous filtration cycles were required, as well as the on-board testing for 2 different vessels (one on board the CMA-CGM with 1000 m3/h, the other on board the Marfret with 500 m3/h). Moreover, the tests that took place during the summer of 2012 at the MERC in Balitimore, MD, USA offered many different challenges representing various port water qualities allowing us to further our knowledge.
This success for BIO-UV represents almost 3 years of work and 3 Million Euros in R&D. BIO-UV is also the only company in France dedicated to the BWT.
Through the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (a.k.a. BWM Convention) and in accordance with the G8 IMO Guidelines, BIO-UV is awarded the Type Approval from Bureau Veritas, mandated by the French government, for its BWTS BIO-SEA. Ms. Charlene Ceresola, BIO-UV's BWT Project Manager, is a biological engineer and is working with the French delegation on the IMO International Convention.
For 13 years, BIO-UV has been designing, manufacturing, and offering competitive and well-adapted solutions for many applications: waste water treatment, REUSE, purification of industrial effluents, drinking water production, water treatment for residential and commercial pools, aquariums, etc. … and now Ballast Water Treatment.
The management's experience in water treatment and engineering fields enables this European company to gain a place amongst the market leaders in all UV-C technologies providing safe and efficient solutions to ensure the best water quality.
BIO-SEA by BIO-UV Ballast Water Treatment Systems combine mechanical filtration and UV disinfection. BIO-SEA works without chemical products and provides 2 filtration options, both of which are type approved.
The whole certification process has been monitored by Bureau Veritas. BIO-UV should obtain other equivalent Type-Approvals soon: DNV, Lloyd's, ABS…
Environmental testing (temperature, humidity, vibration, inclination, power, variation, and failure, EMC) was successfully performed in 2011, as well as land-based tests at DHI facility in Denmark. The results exceeded IMO requirements.
In partnership with CMA-CGM, and Marfret, in order to test the BIO-SEA system in different water qualities, BIO-UV carried out its shipboard testing in 2012 on 2 container ships equipped with different filters, at 1000 and 500 m3/h and on different trade routes (Korea / China / Indonesia and North Europe / America / Australia).
With these successful tests, BIO-UV received its Type Approval in record time. During this process, BIO-UV has received support through the European Fund for Regional Development, Oséo, and Languedoc-Roussillon Region in Southern France.
For more than one year, BIO-UV and Mr. Xavier Deval who manages the BIO-SEA department have developed a certified network of Distributors with Sales & Technical partners in order to deliver top-quality service to Ship Owners and Naval yards.

Sheikh Hasina`s son`s trek down memory lane
New Delhi: As Bangladesh celebrated the
92nd birth anniversary of its founding father Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman today, it was a emotional trek down memory lane for
Sajeeb Wajed Joy, son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who
said he is astonished how and his mother escaped the coup that
wiped out almost the entire Rahman family.
Sheikh Mujib and several of his family members were
killed in the military coup on the night of August 14, 1975,
at their residence in central Dhaka.
"I was a boy of four at that time and I used to cry
frequently wanting to meet my father (Wajed Mian, a nuclear
scientist) who was in Germany for his thesis at that time. It
was because I used to cry to meet my father that my mother
took me to Germany about a fortnight before the coup. And that
was how we escaped", said Joy.
"I`m still astonished how we are still alive", he added.
Hasina`s son, who was here to take part in a conclave,
attended the commemorative function for his grandfather at the
Bangladesh High Commission.
Addressing the function, Bangladesh`s High Commissioner

MUMBAI Indian banks should split wealth management and investment advisory services to avoid conflict of interest as well as address mis-selling of financial products, by creating a subsidiary, a draft report by a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) panel said.
The banks will need to get the RBI's approval to create subsidiaries, which would be then registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the panel proposed on Friday.
"To address the issue of conflict of interest arising from the single entity conducting both the activities of advisory/fund management as well as marketing, it is proposed to segregate the two functions," the report said, adding the bank should have an 'arm's length' relationship with its subsidiary.
The report also proposed the RBI should continue to supervise the bank's activities done through the subsidiary.
Last month, the RBI said it would issue draft guidelines to address mis-selling of financial products and structure of transactions to aid tax evasion and fradulent transfer of funds.

The Crown armchair and easy chair create a dignified and elegant sitting experience, regardless of the location in which they are placed. They have a light, open back design with fully upholstered side panels which give a sense of volume despite the chair's low weight. The chairs are made from relatively flat parts, which when joined together give a strong form which is greater than their sum parts. The backrest is perched on top of the armrests and seems to be unsupported. The connection is in fact very strong and this innovation adds to the visual playfulness of the chairs. The Crown armchair and easy chair are upholstered in a heavy duty woollen stretch textile, which allows us to keep seems to a minimum, further enhancing their beautiful forms.

Major Polish museum to hold exhibition on gay love
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
This sounds like a big step for Poland and I'm sure the various protesting groups have close ties to a certain area of Rome, where people tend to wear the kind clothes drag-queens may dream of, while denouncing other people's life-style. Let's hope the exhibition will run to schedule and educate people about homosexuality.
It is good news for a country of appallingly backward and medieval attitudes to social various issues in general and to homosexuality in particular. It is going to attract a lot of attention and protests – but it is good. Any opportunity to raise the issue and TALK is good.
This is great news and a sign of real progress in Poland.
Are there any Polish readers of this site?
If so then I'd like to know what the Law and Justice Party make of this exhibition.
Let's not forget that The Law and Justice Party are the Tories's partners in the European Parliament and despite their record of truly sickening and twisted homophobia, thwe Tories still pretend that they are not borderline fascist, homophobic extremists (as well as being racist and misogynistic).
I'd like to know if they engage in any homophobic hatemongering over tis exhibition.
Check out this video on the Polish Law & Justice party using "youth groups" to try and subvert gay Pride marches:
Well done to the museum head Piotr Piotrowski!
I think that doing something progressive for LGBT issues in Poland is really brave.
Compare the activities of people like Piotr Piotrowski with those of the British Conservative party who advance the cause of the deeply homophobic Law and Justice party.
Growing up in Northern Ireland I relate to the plight that Polish LGBT people are in.
What is not understood is that having large deeply homophobic political parties infects all aspects of life, so very very many LGBT people in Poland I am sure live in fear.
The association and advancement of the Polish Law and Justice party by the British Conservative party is really a disgrace, and the LGBT Conservative apologists for the Law and Justice party do make me angry.
@Piotr yes I agree with you – it is a step in the right direction and a lot more needs to be done to expose the castrophy and results of the Roman Catholic Church teaching that has created Polish society today. The RCC has much to answer for.

Product Description
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
1. The Defender case is a very protective case. However, it is very bulky. The Commuter is very smooth and sleek. The buttons on the case are very responsive, and the outer plastic cover looks awesome.
2. The built-in screen protector on the Defender case reduces the clarity of the iPod Touch screen. The screen protector that comes with the Commuter maintains the great resolution of the iPod Touch.
3. The flaps on the bottom of the Defender case are very unattractive and made my iPod look sloppy whenever the USB charging cord or headphones were connected. The flaps on the bottom of the Commuter case are sturdier, and actually stay in place most of the time.
4. The large size of the Defender case causes it not to fit in my external speaker system. However, the Commuter case is smaller and thinner, and can be docked in my speaker system.
5. Last but not least, the two color design of the Commuter case makes it more attractive than the Defender.
Overall, if you are willing to accept slightly less protection, the Otterbox Commuter case is a better case than the Defender.
I flipped my SUV in a violent wreck two days ago. It stopped completely upside-down. Luckily no one was seriously injured, although my vehicle is now totaled.
Long story short, this case was on my iPod touch when it was thrown from my vehicle during the crash. It landed about 20 feet away from my SUV, on the pavement.
My iPod survived! There is a small crack in the plastic corner of the case itself, but otherwise, everything's good! my iPod works perfectly, just as it did before the crash.
If that's not enough of a testimony for ya, I don't know what is. I love this case.
I will put up pics of the minimal damage.
It could definitely be improved, both in terms of protection (it actually makes it easier to slide the iPod off of a table!) and in terms of quality (mostly the way the fact that it's not a tight fit.)
Still, it gets the job done, and doesn't add too much bulk to the ipod. For the price, though, it really should be better.

In today's digital economy, companies see the revenue potential offered by data monetization and are striving to capitalize on it--preferably before their competitors do. This is particularly evident in the publishing industry, where some companies are already achieving incremental success by leveraging existing data about their consumers to generate new revenue streams. However, the majority of companies still need to determine how they want their organizations to leverage consumer data. More importantly, they need to consider how to synergize data trends emerging around both their existing base of consumers and a target demographic that may present new revenue opportunities, all of which is going through a degree of disruption in the market.

Fedora 2.0 Open-Source DAM Solution Released The Fedora Project has announced the release of version 2.0 of its Fedora open-source digital repository software. New features include the ability to represent and query relationships among digital objects, XML encoding for Fedora digital objects, enhanced ingest and export interfaces for interoperability with other repository systems, enhanced administrative features, and improved documentation. Fedora is intended to serve as the foundation for many types of information management applications, including institutional repositories, digital libraries, records management systems, archives, and educational software.
As with prior versions of the software, all Fedora functionality is exposed through Web Service interfaces. At the core of this functionality is the Fedora object model that enables the aggregation of multiple content items into digital objects. This allows objects to have several accessible "representations." For example, a digital object can represent an electronic document in multiple formats, a digital image with its descriptive metadata, or a complex science publication containing text, data, and video. Services can be associated with digital objects, allowing dynamically-produced views, or "virtual representations" of the objects. Historical views of digital objects are preserved through a powerful content versioning system.
The new Fedora 2.0 introduces the "Resource Index" which is a module that allows a Fedora repository to be viewed as a graph of inter-related objects. Using the Resource Description Framework (RDF), relationships among objects can be declared, and queries against these relationships are supported by an RDF-based triple store. Fedora 2.0 also introduces "Fedora Object XML" (FOXML) an XML format for encoding Fedora digital objects. To support multiple XML standards, Fedora's ingest/export interface has been enhanced, permitting digital objects to be encoded in different formats. Currently, there is support for METS and FOXML. In future releases The Fedora Project plans to support other XML formats, including MPEG21-DIDL. Other new features include a mass-update utility for modifying objects, a new administrative reporting interface, improved documentation, and tutorials.

Sybase has expanded its support for Apple devices with a full mobile device management and security solution for iOS 4. The release of Sybase Afaria delivers proven, market-leading functionality to empower enterprise IT to effectively manage the proliferation of personally and corporate-liable iPhones, while providing a high degree of security to meet the strictest corporate standards.
"The increasing diversity of platforms being incorporated into enterprise environments, such as iPhone 4, have companies scrambling to enable the use of such high user-demand devices while maintaining corporate security policies," said Jack Gold, President of J.Gold Associates, LLC. "Third party management and security applications like those from Sybase enable companies to augment these devices' capabilities by keeping corporate data assets safe and separate from the private user sections of these devices. When such enhancements are deployed, these consumer devices can become capable business productivity tools connected to a corporate environment."
With Afaria, Sybase meets widespread customer demand for simplified, seamless over-the-air delivery of in-house apps and management policies, separation of personal and enterprise information, and improved transparency and control of asset tracking for iOS 4 devices. This release extends Sybase's expansive list of device types supported by Afaria which includes iPhone.
"The new features that Sybase will offer to secure Apple's iOS 4 devices are game-changing for customers using our cloud-ready, managed mobility service," said Caroline Comet-Fraigneau, Head of Mobility Business Unit, Orange Business Services. "Our customers will significantly benefit from the ability to separately manage enterprise data without affecting personal data all while transforming their business through managed mobility solutions that better connect customers and better enable employee productivity."
New features of the upcoming Afaria release support both on-premise and multi-tenant, managed mobility service models, delivering significant customer benefits including:
- Simplified delivery of in-house apps: Over-the-air delivery of in-house apps directly to the iPhone, as well as user-selectable "suggested" apps from the App Store through an Afaria client portal on the iPhone.
- Simplified device management: Powerful remote iPhone management provides IT with the ability to remotely install and remove device policies as well as lock and wipe the device - all without the need for user interaction.
- Improved transparency and control: Accurate and up to date asset tracking ensures complete knowledge of mobile device population - including device network information, connection data, security information, profile and provisioning data, certificates and restrictions, and installed 3rd party apps.
"As personally-liable devices continue to proliferate in the workplace, the need to manage and secure the newest offerings from the industry's leading manufacturers has never been more pressing," said Willie Jow, vice president of mobility marketing, Sybase. "Sybase is committed to meeting strong customer demand by supporting iOS 4 with enterprise device management, further demonstrating our longstanding, rapid support for Apple devices. We look forward to embracing iOS 4 across our breadth of applications, services and development tools."
Sybase Afaria is a key component of the Sybase Mobility Platform, the industry's first and most expansive framework of best-in-class mobility servers, mobile applications and mobile services, empowering enterprises to transform the way they connect with their customers and enable their employees.
Sybase is committed to helping businesses understand the value of adopting new devices. Through a series of free events, Sybase technical experts can help companies explore the issues they need to consider when evaluating the iPhone and iPad. Upcoming sessions include:

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Middle East
Rebels in southern Syria have freed 21 UN peacekeepers after holding them hostage for four days, driving them to the border with Jordan after accusations from Western officials that the little-known group had tarnished the image of those fighting to topple President Bashar Assad.
The abduction and the tortured negotiations that ended it highlight the disorganisation of the rebel movement, which has hindered its ability to fight Assad and complicates vows by the US and others to provide assistance.
It also has raised concerns about the future of UN operations in the area. The Filipino peacekeepers were abducted on March 6 by one of the rebel groups operating in southern Syria near the Jordanian border and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, where a UN force has patrolled a cease-fire line between Israel and Syria for nearly four decades.
Activists associated with the group, the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade, gave different reasons for seizing the 21 men. First they demanded that all government forces leave the area. Then they suggested the peacekeepers were human shields against government attacks. Then they declared them "honored guests" held for their own safety.
They also released videos online, including one today of a bearded rebel commander with his arms around two peacekeepers' shoulders, flashing a V for victory sign.
Today, after negotiations that the top UN official in Damascus described as "long and difficult," the rebels changed the plan to deliver the peacekeepers to a UN team, instead taking them to the Jordanian border.
Video broadcast by Arab satellite channels late Saturday showed them sitting at a round conference table in Amman, their bright blue helmets in front of them.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed their release and called on all parties in Syria to respect the peacekeepers' freedom of movement.
It was the first time in nearly two years of violence in Syria that UN personnel have been directly caught up in the civil war, which evolved from an uprising against Assad that broke out in March 2011 and has left more than 70,000 people dead.
Since then, hundreds of independent rebel groups have formed across the country to fight Assad's forces, overrunning military bases and seizing territory in northern and eastern Syria while the regime maintains its grip in the centre and the capital, Damascus.
Although some groups have banded together into organised brigades, most still operate independently, competing with each other for resources and booty from captured sites.
Even the rebel's political leadership, the Syrian National Coalition, which the US and other powers have officially recognised, has no direct control over fighters on the ground. And it remains unclear how many rebels follow its associated High Military Command, which was formed in Turkey in December.
This lack of a central command has hindered rebel efforts against government forces and discouraged the US and others from providing arms.
Last month, the US promised US$60 million dollars in new aid for the opposition but refused to arm the rebels, saying more weapons would worsen the situation and could help extremists.
The release of the 21 peacekeepers serves as a case study in rebel disorganisation.
As the days passed and the captors' terms changed, international indignation rose.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland blasted the Syrian government on Friday for shelling the area, while also warning the rebels that the kidnapping was "not good for their reputation and that they need to immediately release these people."
The men were held in the village of Jamlah, less than two kilometres from the Jordanian border.
A UN team tried to retrieve the hostages on Friday, but abandoned the plan because of government shelling.
On Saturday, another UN team reached the area and stopped in a village less than a mile away to wait for the captives, said Mokhtar Lamani, the UN-Arab League envoy to Syria.
Lamani said the team was "surprised" when the rebels issued a "very urgent request" that the team come to the village itself.
The team demurred, Lamani said, then was "surprised" again when rebels took the peacekeepers directly to Jordan.
"We were surprised to hear to hear the news from a satellite channel that they had reached Jordan," he said. "Praise God in the end that all of them were released safely."
An activist associated with the captors said via Skype that the rebels had not been able to reach the UN team because of "security conditions" so had taken them to Jordan instead.
He said the Syrian government had been shelling and carrying out airstrikes on the area for weeks, and that locals worried the situation would get worse after the captives left.
"They lightened the shelling today, but we fear that now they will launch a harsh attack on the area," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a letter to the United Nations Saturday that the Syrian army had held its fire in the area "out of concern for the security and safety of the UN forces."
It called on the UN to "unequivocally condemn the attacks of those terrorist groups against civilians and work to dislodge those terrorist groups immediately from the region."
The Syria government says the uprising is a foreign-backed conspiracy to weaken the country carried out by "terrorists" - its blanket term for the opposition.
The peacekeepers are part of a UN mission known as UNDOF that was set up to monitor a cease-fire in 1974, seven years after Israel captured the plateau and a year after it pushed back Syrian troops trying to recapture the territory.
The truce's stability has been shaken in recent months, as Syrian mortar shells have hit the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
Israeli officials worry the violence will prompt UNDOF to end its mission.
On Friday, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said "the mission in the Golan needs to review its security arrangements and it has been doing that."
