It probably  means that you  lie down  with your legs/arms spread out or perhaps just in a position that  is comfortable.

Hi,

I read the following question in a TOEIC book:

"142. If you just want to __, come and spread out in our cosy guestrooms, furnished with luxury beds, cotton-rich linens, fluffy feather pillows.

(A) remove

(B) deter

(C) unwind

(D) tense

(Answer: C)" ((p. 125, by Renald Rilcy, Achieve TOEIC))

Would you please paraphrase the phrasal verb “spread out” in the above question? What is the meaning of “spread out” in the question?

- If I spread out my papers on a desk, it means they occupy a lot of space.
- If I spread out in a hotel room, it means that I and my belongings occupy a lot of space.
It's a way of saying that I am comfortable and relaxed. eg. My luggage is all unpacked and I am reclining on the sofa.

it means that if you just want to unwind .. you can come and make yourself confortable/relax in their cosy guestroom

to me spread out in this sentence means like you can just relax and make yourself at home in their rooms to distress...
