If you collect ALL – Accor Live Limitless points (or you just like predictable international standards), Nepal is currently a simple market: there’s one Accor/ALL hotel officially listed in Nepal right now—Mercure Kathmandu Sukedhara Heights.

That “only one” is still a big deal, because it’s Mercure’s first hotel in Nepal, opened in January 2025, and it arrived positioned as a full-service, modern base for travelers who want Kathmandu’s energy outside their window—but a calm, polished retreat when they come back.

(Side Note: Accor Plus is offering 2000 Reward Points extra from February 17, 2026)

The one to know: Mercure Kathmandu Sukedhara Heights

Accor lists the hotel as a 5-star Mercure with 104 rooms, built around convenience for both leisure and business stays. It’s in Sukedhara Heights (Kathmandu), about 4 km from Tribhuvan International Airport, and it’s a practical location if you want quick access to the city’s spiritual “musts”: Boudhanath is roughly 15 minutes away and Pashupatinath about 20 minutes.

The hotel leans hard into the “reward yourself after Kathmandu” formula: a rooftop infinity pool, rooftop lounge/bar energy, plus fitness + steam & sauna—exactly what you want after a dusty day in the valley (or a jet-lagged arrival).

Food is a major part of the pitch. Accor’s opening announcement calls out a multi-outlet lineup: DYNE (all-day dining), Sopra (Italian), Zaiqa (Indian), and Sukra Bar as the rooftop spot for views. Accor’s own listing also highlights five dining options, which is unusual for a “midscale” brand and helps explain why reviews often treat it like a higher-end stay.

What guests and buzz tend to focus on

Across review platforms, the repeated themes are cleanliness, modern rooms, strong service, and surprisingly good food—especially Indian options—plus that “wow” rooftop moment at sunset. On Accor’s own site, the hotel shows an ALL guest rating around 4.8/5, which lines up with the general “new hotel + attentive staff” vibe. Social-wise, the property’s official presence positions it as an “immersive discovery” Mercure and emphasizes the scale (104 rooms) and multiple outlets.

Bottom line

If you want ALL points/status recognition in Nepal, this is currently the single, clear option—and it’s a strong one: airport-friendly, close to the big heritage sites, and built to feel like a reward at the end of a chaotic Kathmandu day.

If you’re considering ALL Accor+ Explorer and you have the option to buy it on the India checkout, the numbers can work out in your favor simply because you’re paying in INR.

Seems getting the membership from the Indian Accor website will give instant $15 plus $47 = $62 discount? So you’re basically getting Explorer for around $167?

Also, if travelling from Qatar Airways, their ongoing 10% discount for Accor seems enough to get in most of the $167 back, no? Am I missing something?

The Math:

Accor+ lists the India price at INR 19,499 per year. (go to ALL Accor+ Explorer India) At today’s USD/INR market rate of ~90.62, that converts to roughly:

INR 19,499 ÷ 90.62 ≈ USD 215.2

Meanwhile, the “Rest of the World” checkout lists the same Explorer membership at USD 229 per year. That’s a difference of about:

USD 229 − USD 215.2 ≈ USD 13.8 (call it ~$14–$15)

So the India pricing is effectively around fifteen dollars cheaper at current exchange rates, before you even consider card fees.

Why this can be the better deal:

1. Same core benefits, lower entry price. The Explorer bundle (Stay Plus free nights, dining discounts, and hotel-rate discounts) is marketed as a single membership product; paying less for the same package is a straightforward win if you’re eligible to purchase via India.
2. Occasional sign-up promos can sweeten it further. Currently, from February 17, 2026, 2,000 ALL Reward points is being given with new memberships.

Reality check: your bank’s conversion rate may differ from the mid-market rate, and prices/promos can change. But even with small swings, the INR checkout often stays cheaper—think of the difference as a free meal or a couple of local rides.
