A hotel in Bay Area Houston’s Clear Lake region began extensive renovations in August 2026 to convert the former Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake into Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Nassau Bay, a destination resort at 3000 E NASA Parkway.
Nassau Bay Resorts LLC acquired the property in 2025. To enable the renovation process, the company filed with the Texas Workforce Commission in June 2026 to lay off all employees effective July 31, 2026.
Renovation Details and Planned Amenities
The updated 229-room hotel will feature four Margaritaville-themed restaurants, a lazy river, conference and meeting facilities, and fully reimagined guest rooms. The resort will provide marina access,
boat parking, and an on-site store, catering to visitors, business travelers, conference attendees, boaters, and local guests.
Official Statements on the Project
Kam Miramadi, CEO of Nassau Bay Resorts LLC, said, “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.” He added, “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.”
Margaritaville’s Regional Expansion
The Compass Hotel represents Margaritaville’s growing presence in the Houston area. The brand is simultaneously developing a $250 million Margaritaville resort on Galveston Island with 334 rooms. Additionally, Margaritaville opened Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Crystal Beach in 2022, expanding its leisure offerings along the Gulf Coast.
