Auberge d'Italie was the third Italian auberge to be built in Malta. The phrase "auberge espagnole" literally means "Spanish inn" or "Spanish hotel". The headquarters of each langue was known as an "auberge", a French word meaning inn. The auberge (inn) has been restored as a museum and tourist attraction. Typical buildings from this era include Auberge de Castille and the Valletta Waterfront. It now incorporates a fine-dining restaurant called "Auberge du Lac". It is operated by Auberge Resorts. The Langue of Italy often held such entertainment, staged by its knights in their Auberge. In Hong Kong, Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong opened in 2013. A major renovation of the auberge in the Baroque style began in 1680. The under-croft, constructed from remains of the basement of the Auberge d'Allemagne was never used. While it was the GPO, parts of Auberge d'Italie also housed other government departments. Van Gogh had a room at the nearby Auberge Ravoux. It was built adjacent to the Auberge d'Italie. He survived the impact and managed to walk back to the auberge.
