A hotel located at 3000 E NASA Parkway in Houston’s Bay Area, formerly known as Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake, began renovations in August 2026 to convert into the Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Nassau Bay. Nassau Bay Resorts LLC acquired the property in 2025 to develop it into a destination resort.
After the renovation, the hotel will offer 229 rooms alongside four Margaritaville-themed restaurants, a lazy river, and conference and meeting spaces. Additional amenities include fully redesigned guestrooms, marina access, boat parking, and a retail store, making it a comprehensive hospitality and recreational site in the Clear Lake community.

layoffs occurred on July 31, 2026, to facilitate the extensive remodeling work, with renovation activities commencing in the following month. The project aims to reopen the hotel in late 2027 under its new brand and concept.
Kam Miramadi, CEO of Nassau Bay Resorts LLC, stated, “We are excited to introduce Compass Hotel Nassau Bay and bring this new destination to the Clear Lake community, just minutes from NASA/Space Center Houston. We look forward to transforming this property into a welcoming hotel and recreational experience that reflects the character of the surrounding area while providing guests with a comfortable place to
stay and explore. Bringing the Compass by Margaritaville brand to the region will offer a new hospitality option for visitors, business travelers, conferences, boaters, and locals alike.”
This transformation aligns with Margaritaville’s broader regional expansion plans, including a $250 million, 334-room development underway on Galveston Island and the recent opening of Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Crystal Beach in 2022.
