Casino Español de Manila is a club established in 1888 by Spaniards living in the Philippines as their exclusive venue for recreational and social activities.

[6] The structure used to occupy the whole block from Taft Avenue to San Marcelino Street and housed the offices of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the Consulate General of Spain.

[7] As the official clubhouse and social venue of the Spanish community, the building's reception and banquet halls hosted parties, celebrations and balls.

Apart from attending parties in its halls, guests could also view the garden from the terrace while members could play tennis and pelota games in its courts.

Huge antique plates decorate the high walls, individually crafted and hand-painted bearing the coat-of-arms of each of the provincial districts of Spain.

Towards the club's Fronton where games of Jai alai and pelota are held, is the Biblioteca Academia de la Lengua Española, a library housing a collection of artefacts and journals about Spain.
