Santa Cruz has long been known as a historic district in Manila located on the right bank of the Pasig River. It is a premier commercial hub, blending old charm with urban energy and vibrant street life. Currently, it is still considered as a center of trade and commerce in the capital city and is surrounded by bustling market and businesses. 

Located at the very heart of it is Winford Resort & Casino Manila (WRCM), a 22-story, 128-room entertainment and leisure destination for customers and guests who value sophistication and convenience. Rooted in the district’s rich culture and being situated in the former location of the San Lazaro Hippodrome, a known horse racing venue in Manila, WRCM is designed for today’s lifestyle and offers curated experience that feels both classic and modern. 

From indulgent dining occasions, premium entertainment facilities to delightful room accommodations and thoughtfully designed leisure space, Winford Manila is home to anyone who appreciates the richness of Manila’s history and modern leisure. Indulgence comes in many forms at Winford Manila. Guests can unwind in spacious accommodations – the Deluxe Room and Executive Suite – for refined comfort and relaxation.

It also houses function spaces for every meaningful milestone - the Winford Ballroom that can accommodate up to a thousand guests and the Business Center for intimate and corporate events.
