In the validation rule, add the field Account.RecordType.Name to access the record type name of the Account in your case object. Also, for developer name, use Account.RecordType.DeveloperName

I suggest you to use a formula that will contain the RecordType.Name.

now use this formula field in validation rule

..

If the RecordType object is available then use RecordType.Name directly in validation rule
