The Yukon Hotel is a National Historic Site of Canada and part of the Dawson Historical Complex. It is a log building with a three-storey false facade on First Avenue at the corner of Church Street in Dawson City, Yukon; the building was constructed during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898 by J. E. Binet, who named it Binet Block. A local entrepreneur, he and his brother J. O. Binet operated Malden House, the Marconi Hotel, Binet Brothers Saloon, the Binet Bros. Hotel and General Merchants in Mayo, he and his workers used available materials. The narrow building had large street-level windows flanking the main entrance. Only the facade was made of milled lumber, it was leased to the Government of Canada for $1000 per month, which used it for the office of the Commissioner of Yukon, William Ogilvie, for land and timber agent offices, the territorial registrar, as living quarters for the staff. In November 1900, the government relocated its offices to the post office, newly constructed at the corner of Third Street and King Street.

Binet operated the building as a residence. The building changed ownership many times. Henry Freeman operated it as the Miner's Rest Hotel. In 1913, Minnie Witmore renamed it the Freeman Hotel; the building was purchased by hotelier Emma Wilson in 1933, whose adjacent hotel was destroyed by fire. She renamed it the Yukon Hotel after a previous but no longer existing hotel operated by James Booge from 1898 to 1902 and John Borland from 1903 to 1907. Wilson operated the hotel until 1957. Pierre Berton and other Dawson City natives urged the Government of Canada to save and restore the structure. In 1975, the Heritage Canada Foundation purchased the "vacant and decaying" building for $1, by 1980 had spent $386,000 to renovate it. In 1983 the foundation sold the building, in 1985, innkeeper and operator of the Eldorado Hotel, Peter Jenkins, purchased it, it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada on 12 June 1982, a commemorative plaque is installed on a large rock adjacent to the building.

It was selected based on its "representation of typical commercial structures built at the height" of the Klondike Gold Rush, such as siting flush to the sidewalk, roof pitch, three-storey false facade, log construction. It forms part of the Dawson Historical Complex with other frontier buildings identified by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, including the adjacent St. Paul's Anglican Church, the Bank of British North America building, the Carnegie Library.
