Create button with link in Yii2

You could simply use Html::a() :

<?= Html::a('label', ['/controller/action'], ['class'=>'btn btn-primary']) ?>

Or create your own version of Button class to handle this.

PS: you don't need Url::toRoute

you can also pass parameter to url

<?= Html::a('Update', ['update', 'id' => $model->id], ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>

You can also render the html

<?= Html::a('<span class="btn-label">Update</span>', ['update', 'id' => $model->id], ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
