Uma Residence & Suites is a boutique hotel that embodies the perfect blend of luxury and homely warmth, run by the dedicated husband-and-wife team, Lobsang  and Tenzin Dolkar. What started as a side project—renting a few newly renovated units on Airbnb—quickly became a sought-after destination. Our success led us to transform each level of our home into bed-and-breakfast suites, which were always fully booked.


During the pandemic, We undertook a major renovation, converting the adjacent building into a full-service hotel with an in-house restaurant. We also expanded our property to include a fresh organic vegetable garden, ensuring guests enjoy seasonal produce year-round.


Lobsang, a rug designer and exporter of hand-knotted Tibetan rugs to the United States, Europe, New Zealand and Middle East has infused his passion for interior design into every corner of the hotel. From the bespoke furniture to the carefully selected lighting fixtures sourced from local artisans in Kathmandu, his attention to detail is evident throughout the hotel.


Tenzin’s natural love for hosting makes her the heart of the hotel. As the face of the business, she ensures every guest feels at home, personally managing the day-to-day operations with warmth and care. Her passion for organic, seasonal vegetables shines through in the hotel’s cuisine, making each meal taste fresh and welcoming, just like a home-cooked dish.


Together, Lobsang and Tenzin have created Uma Residence and Suites a boutique hotel with the elegance of a luxury resort and the intimacy of a family-run establishment. It’s the perfect getaway for both locals and international tourists, offering a unique experience that feels like a home away from home.
