We show that repulsive neutral-atom impurities in a dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can self-localize in bubble polaron states formally analogous to electron bubbles in helium. The BEC is then the first impurity host medium known to exhibit both Landau-Pekar polaron states akin to that of self-localized electrons in a dielectric lattice and self-localized bubble polaron states. We find that the neutral BEC-impurity system is fully characterized by only two dimensionless coupling constants and that a single BEC impurity can be steered adiabatically from the Landau-Pekar to the bubble region. The adiabatic change is that of a crossover, not a transition.
