booking "economy" room with gold status - upgrade?
Looking at a couple of properties in CPH and Stockholm.
Radisson is showing good deals on "economy' rooms.
ClubCarlson should match my Hyatt and Hilton status to Gold.
Not exactly sure what Gold status means with CC- will I get an upgrade to a better room, or will I be stuck with the "economy" room if that's what I book?

Carlson Rezidor properties don't have the best success rate with upgrades in my experience.
I used to work in Stockholm and I did usually get upgraded at the Radisson Royal Viking if that's one of the ones you're looking at. I also stayed at the Radisson Waterfront, which is a newer and more modern hotel, but I preferred the Royal Viking on the basis of better elite treatment, bigger rooms and nicer restaurant.

To the OP a sensible rule with CC is to expect to receive what you have booked – anything you get at check-in above that level is a bonus. In that regard, ConradS has provided sound advice and I suggest that opinion is considered in relation to you booking the 'bargain basement' accommodation option.
