The fire at the seafront guest house has destroyed several floors and damaged neighbouring buildings.
Police have been searching for a missing individual who was believed to have been staying in the hotel at the time of the blaze.
Officers have been liaising with the Lithuanian Embassy to trace the next of kin of the missing guest.
Mr Harris will appear in Swansea Crown Court on 24 August.
