Long before it turned into a spot for indulgence, the San Lazaro grounds were the heart of Philippine horseracing — fast, high-stakes, and packed with unforgettable stories. These days, that same iconic spot has quietly transformed into one of Manila’s best-kept secrets for lifestyle and business: the Winford Resort & Casino Manila (WRCM). It’s a luxury escape that tips its hat to history while mastering the art of modern hospitality.

Nestled in the San Lazaro Tourism and Business Park, Winford isn’t one to shout from the rooftops. But once you stumble upon it, you’ll see exactly why it clicks.

You’ll find refined hotel stays, elegant dining, a massive gaming floor, and versatile event spaces — all in a spot that’s super strategic, easy to reach, and blissfully free of chaos. It’s luxury, but the smart kind.

The Deluxe Room stands out as bigger than your average five-star option, blending a contemporary Asian vibe with a king or double bed for travelers who want space, style, and value without compromises.
