29, 31, 33 Hanover Street in Edinburgh is a four-storey classical office building with shops on the ground floor, constructed in 1881 by John Watherston and Sons, with some alterations at ground level. The building features polished cream ashlar sandstone and includes cornices at the ground and first floors, an overhanging eaves cornice, and architraved windows that are moulded at the front with aprons at the first floor.

The Hanover Street elevation has four bays and is set back from the building line. The ground floor has a two-bay shopfront with blocked Ionic pilasters that support scrolled pediments. The right bay features an elaborate doorpiece with a broken pediment leading to the upper floors, along with modern plate glass windows. The windows on the first and second floors are corniced, and there are fluted friezes at the first floor.

The Rose Street elevation has six bays, with the three bays on the left and right slightly advanced. The broad right bay has a shopfront similar to the one on Hanover Street, with paired columns at the ground level, and elaborate aedicules on the first and second floors. A date panel indicating 1881 is located on the third floor, along with a pedimented wallhead dormer to the left and a panelled wallhead stack to the right.

The building features timber sash and case windows, with plate glass on the front and four-pane windows on the right. It has a piended slate roof with corniced ashlar stacks, which are rendered to the south, and is covered with grey slates. The interior was not seen in 1995.
