Our mission
About Elysian
A hospitality company with a residential point of view.
Elysian was created around a simple belief: temporary housing should still feel considered, comfortable, and cared for.
Our company

Founder & leadership
Egypt Smalls
Born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Egypt grew up surrounded by a city shaped by hospitality and tourism. Downtown Charleston’s distinctive hotels—from polished luxury properties to intimate boutique stays—showed her how a place to stay can become part of the reason a trip is remembered. She came to see hospitality as more than welcoming someone through the door: it is the feeling a thoughtful space leaves with them.
Business had interested Egypt from an early age, and she was drawn to the possibility of bringing a practical business mindset together with creativity. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Retailing from the University of South Carolina, where she built a foundation for understanding how people experience a brand, a product, and the spaces around them. As she traveled and stayed in different hotels and homes, she found herself paying close attention to the accommodations—their atmosphere, details, and the way they shaped the whole visit. That curiosity helped her recognize that hospitality was where her interests came together.
After completing her undergraduate degree, Egypt pursued a Master of International Hospitality and Tourism Management at USC. Her studies have included hands-on work across the field, from event planning to the finance and management of hospitality properties. A graduate consulting project involving The Foundry Hotel in Asheville and the DoubleTree by Hilton in Columbia further connected classroom learning to real hotel challenges, including performance, positioning, operations, and the guest experience.
Those experiences continue to shape how Egypt leads Elysian Property Solutions. She believes the place someone stays affects how they rest, work, settle into a new city, and remember a journey. A residence should meet practical needs, but it can also help a guest feel grounded—and offer details and a sense of place they will still talk about after leaving. Her aim is to bring that care to every stay through comfortable, thoughtfully presented homes and professional, attentive management. Elysian is where her love of travel, eye for experience, and belief in the power of hospitality meet.
