Hilo Tropical Gardens was a privately operated botanical garden and guest house at 1477 Kalanianaole Avenue in Hilo, Hawaii. Occupying two acres, it paired a small tropical garden with lodging designed for budget travelers. The site began in 1948 when businessman En Loy Kong established it under the name Kong's Floraleigh Gardens. That original name combined the names of Kong's wife, Flora, and his daughter, Leigh.
