So using la/las to indicate hour (hora), not the time (tiempo) that is why it's feminine? - A que hora? not A que tiempo?

Hola Penny

That is a possibility as it is logical that if we are talking about "hora" (we do not use the word "tiempo" in this context), and hora is a feminine word. It is as if we were omitting the word "hora" when we say:

-¿A qué hora vas a llegar?

-A las 9 [horas].
