If you're staying at Conrad, then you'd be catching the train at Shinbashi Sta.
It'd take just about 2.5hr from Shinbashi to Kyoto.
For example:
7.36am Shinbashi via Tokaido commuter train to Shinagawa arriving 7.42am.
Then transfer to Nozomi shinkansen at Shinagawa.
7.57am Shinagawa via Nozomi to Kyoto arriving 10.08am.
8.05am is the earliest you could get to Kyoto by. But you'd have to take the 5.40am train from Shinbashi. That'd be brutally early.
