Materials taken from nature in their natural state and used by processed cause many environmental problems. In this study, the steps to be followed for the selection of finishing materials with low environmental impact to be used in hotel buildings are explained and evaluated within the scope of environmental sustainability through a literature review, and interviews with hotels. At the end of the study, it was determined that a systematic way should be followed especially in material selection during the design process.
