As tourism moves toward sustainability, green hotel interior design is no longer a passing trend—it’s a strategic direction. It reflects an investor’s commitment to the environment and human well-being while bringing long-term economic benefits.

A green hotel isn’t just filled with plants; it’s a holistic system where materials, energy, air, light, and operations are all optimized to minimize environmental impact. This requires expertise and vision from specialized companies like TTT Corporation—a leading interior design, construction, manufacturing, and installation firm with over 30 years of experience and more than 5,000 completed projects spanning hotels, resorts, and offices across Vietnam and abroad.

Core Principles of Green Design

Biophilic design: Bring nature indoors—greenery, natural light, organic materials, and open views.

Sustainable materials: Prioritize FSC-certified wood, bamboo, recycled materials, and low-VOC paints and adhesives.

Energy optimization: Use LED lighting, motion sensors, natural ventilation, and thermal insulation.

Water management: Install water-saving fixtures, harvest rainwater, and reuse greywater.

Waste reduction: Design for easy disassembly and reuse, and implement waste sorting at the source.

Clean indoor air: Select low-emission materials, integrate air-purifying plants, and ensure effective ventilation.
